Edit Bookmark authentication

Bookmark authentication is used for developers who want enable quick proof-of-concept or testing for product integrations. In some cases it can also be used to enable the rapid launch on the MyApps page of applications that do not support single sign-on.

📝 Note
Applications distributed through the AppDirect Network Catalog require OpenID Connect, OpenID 2.0 or SAML for single sign-on. Bookmark authentication is not allowed for these product integrations.

When Bookmark is selected as the authentication method, developers are required to configure a URL to be associated with their MyApps tile. When a user subsequently clicks on this tile from the MyApps page they are redirected to the URL defined in the product profile.

To edit bookmark authentication

1. Go to Manage > Billing and Distribution > Products > productName | Edit > Integration | Edit Authentication. This opens the Edit Authentication page.
2. (Optional) If the product you are editing is an add-on product, two additional toggle settings appear at the top of the Single Sign-On pane. Note that you can only select one of them. The optional settings are:
   • Use Parent Application Authentication Method—Select this setting if you want the product to inherit the same authentication settings as the parent product with which the add-on is associated.
   • Hide Application Tile—Select this setting to hide the application tile on the user's MyApps page. Note that this also turns off single sign-on for this product.

📝 Note
If you configure either of the settings described in this step, all other authentication fields described in the following steps disappear. Proceed to step 11 to save your settings.

2. In the Single Sign-On pane, select Bookmark from the dropdown list.
3. Enter the Landing URL. This is the URL to which the user is redirected when they click on the MyApps tile.
4. Click Save. The Bookmark authentication protocol is saved.

📝 Note
You can optionally incorporate placeholder values for the Landing URL field. Placeholder values are useful when a Developer requires information about the user when they click a tile on their MyApps place. The placeholder is replaced with the value that is defined by any placeholder that you select. See Incorporate placeholders to learn more.
