Configure a private UI page for CMS links

With single sign-on (SSO) in place, you can generate email links that take users directly to tickets and applications through the CMS interface.

Role required: content_admin or admin

About this task

You accomplish this procedure by creating a private UI page to redirect CMS links. Because the page is not public, it requires authentication and redirects to SSO appropriately.

Procedure

1. Check that your CMS site is private by completing the following steps.
   1. Navigate to Content Management > Sites > [Your Site]
   2. Verify that the Login page field has a page listed.
2. Create a new UI page by completing the following steps.
   1. Navigate to System UI > UI Pages.
   2. Click New.
   3. Enter a Name, for example, redirector.
   4. Enter the following Adobe Jelly code into the HTML field.

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><j:jelly trim="true" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null"><script type="script/javascript">
      		window.location.href="${sysparm_uri}";</script></j:jelly>

      The CMS now supports email links with following format:

      http://<path to instance>/<UI page>.do?uri=/<CMS suffix>/<record type>.do%26sys_id=<record ID>

      For example:

      http://<instance name>.service-now.com/redirector.do?sysparm_uri=/ess/incident.do%26sys_id=46e3e949a9fe19810069b824ba2c761a

      Note:

      If you are using SAML 2.0 update 1 for SSO, use the UI page saml_redirector instead of creating a new UI page. For example, an email link to a SAML 2.0 redirector page would use the URL format: http://<instance name>.service-now.com/ saml_redirector.do ?sysparm_uri=/ess/incident.do%26sys_id=46e3e949a9fe19810069b824ba2c761a.
