Connecting a legacy internal application

Use this procedure if you have a legacy internal application created in Advanced Settings (formerly Classic Experience) and you want to implement a user authentication policy from the New Experience. You'll still be able to use the legacy login URL for your end users.

For example, you have a legacy internal application set up for the Self-Service Account Update page. In the following steps, you'll create a new internal application for the Self-Service Account Update page with an attached user authentication policy. Then, you set up an IIS redirect for the URL from Self-Service Account Update legacy realm to the new internal Self-Service Account Update realm.

Your end users can continue to use the login URL as before, but now they'll get the login experience set by the new user authentication policy.

Before you begin, make note of the legacy realm settings in Advanced Settings like data store connections (Data tab) and authenticated user redirect page settings (Post Authentication tab). You'll need to duplicate these settings from the legacy realm in the new internal application.

Prerequisites

  • SecureAuth® Identity Platform release 22.02 or later

  • Information for a legacy internal application realm (created in Advanced Settings) you want to duplicate using the Internal Application Manager

  • Data store added to the Identity Platform

  • Configured user authentication policy

Procedure

  1. On the left side of the Identity Platform, click Internal Application Manager.

  3. Set the following configurations:

    Internal Application Name

    Set the name of the internal application page.

    This name is shown on the page header and document title of the end user login pages.

    Note

    If you change this name, it will overwrite any value that is set on the Overview tab in Advanced Settings.

    Internal Application Description

    This is an internal description not shown to end users.

    Data Store

    Redirect To

    This field is automatically populated by the selection of the redirect page. If this is a Custom Redirect, then enter the redirect URL.

    This is the page the end user lands on after login.

  4. Click Create Connection.

    This creates a new internal application with an attached user authentication policy from the New Experience.

  5. In the Redirect Information section, copy the new realm name, like Secureauth256.

    You will need this realm name to redirect your legacy realm URL in Redirect legacy realm URL for internal applications.

  6. To complete the configuration in Advanced Settings, do one of the following:

    • At the top of the page, click the link in the green confirmation message.

    • At the bottom of the page, click the Go to Advanced Settings... link.

    The link takes you to the Post Authentication tab in Advanced Settings.

  7. On the Post Authentication tab, configure the settings for the internal application in Advanced Settings.

    For example, if the Authenticate User Redirect field is set to Self-Service Account Update, then you'll need to go to the Identity Management section and configure the page settings.
