About using hosted files with a Portal Access resource
You can use hosted content that you have uploaded to the BIG-IP® Access Policy Manager® to provide the resource and resource items for a Portal Access resource.
When you use hosted content for a Portal Access resource, the link on the webtop for the portal access resource opens a file hosted on the system, instead of a URI. You configure the main Portal Access resource as this linked file. You then configure this file, and all related and required files, as resource items of this file.
In this example, a simple web page consisting of an HTML file, a CSS file, a JavaScript file, and an image are uploaded to a directory in the hosted content repository. The files are then specified as a Portal Access resource and resource items.
File | Location | Description |
---|---|---|
index.html | /index.html | The main web page that displays when the link is clicked. This is the Portal Access Resource. |
styles.css | /styles.css | The CSS file for the page index.html. |
test_image.jpg | /test_image.jpg | An image that is referenced on the page index.html. |
script.js | /js/script.js | A JavaScript file that is referenced from the page index.html. |
In this example, hosted content is uploaded as a single ZIP file, test.zip, then extracted to the location /test on the server.
