Calling iView from External Application

[Former Member]

I want to be able to call an iView which resides in the Portal 7.0 from an external source like a webpage or an legacy application, have it open the iView within the portal framework and have passed associated parameters of the user, is this possible?

You could also go with short URLs so the user doesn't see the path.

Find the hashed URL in System Admin > Navigation > Short URLs

Craft the full URL as follows:

http://<server address>:<port>/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=navurl://fd7dedeff5ec9ce99643a5540de8cad7

OR

Set the iView's Quick Link property. The URL will look like:

http://<server address>:<port>/irj/portal/<quick link>

Hi,

You can call links to any navigation node, the keyword here is NavigationTarget.

Check this for more:

To pass user params lile userID and Password, you can call like this:

http://myServer:50000/irj/portal?

NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/myFolder/myRole&j_user=xxx&j_password=xxxx

This way you can login onto portal silently without loginpage.
