Defining a Desktop App Template

Desktop Template Definition

The desktop application template is defined in the My1Login admin area (the script has been omitted from this view).


Setting

Explanation

Name

The template name, user bookmarks have their title defaulted to this value.

Description

Description of the template

Path to App

The path to the target executable or file. See also 32 bit Apps on 64 & 32 bit Windows.

Command Line Arguments

Optional command line arguments to be sent when launching the app from the user’s vault.

Credentials Required

If checked then the user is prompted to enter credentials if they try to use a bookmark that does not have any.

Application Supports Desktop Startup

The desktop agent integrates with most apps, regardless of whether they’re started from the windows desktop or from the My1Login vault. However some only support the desktop script if started from the vault. Set this flag if the app works with both startup modes.

Grouped Credentials Policy

If multiple applications (whether web or desktop) share the same credentials then they should be assigned to the same policy here to keep the values in sync.
