Creating a Trusted Application

The following procedure describes the steps to create a trusted application.

To make an application trusted:

  1. On the ESA Web UI, navigate to Policy Management > Policies & Trusted Applications > Trusted Applications.

  2. Click Add New Trusted Application.

    The New Trusted Application screen appears.

    New Trusted Application Screen

  3. Type a unique name to the trusted application in the Name textbox.

  4. Type the required description to the trusted application in the Description textbox.

  5. Type the name of the application in the Application Name textbox.

    The maximum length of an Application Name is up to 64 characters.

    Important: In case of AP Java and AP Go applications, ensure that you specify the complete module or package name.

    In the application name, you can type the asterisk (*) wild card character to represent multiple characters or the question mark (?) wild card character to represent a single character. You can also use multiple wild card characters in the application name.

    For example, if you specify Test_App* as the application name, then you can use applications with names, such as, Test_App1 or Test_App123 to perform security operations.

    Caution: Use wild card characters with discretion, as they can potentially lead to security threats.

  6. Type the name of the application user in the Application User textbox.

    In the application user name, you can type the asterisk (*) wild card character to represent multiple characters or the question mark (?) character to represent a single character. You can also use multiple wild card characters in the application user name.

    For example, if you specify User* as the application user name, then you can have users with names, such as, User1 or User123 to perform security operations.

    Caution: Use wild card characters with discretion, as they can potentially lead to security threats.

  7. Click Save.

A message Trusted Application has been created successfully appears.
