TPAM url shortcuts ... more?

Hi - We're still up with TPAM and the more I use it, the more I want to cut clicks and wasted seconds interacting with that interface.

So, I've noticed the URL shortcuts you expose - like them  ... saves the odd click here and here. 

But, I want more.  Are there more - end user accessible cookie crumbs to follow?   i.e. so that could save a URL Fav that includes the name of the machine I want a session for .. so all I have to do is provide the reason and click connect?

ala  https://<tpamhost>/tpam/SessionRequestFilter.asp?StartPage=NewRequest?Target=<IMAMACHINE>?

→ Drops you at the door for requesting a new session

     https://<tpamhost>/tpam/SessionRequestFilter.asp?StartPage=NewRequest

→ Drops you at the place to see/terminate/connect with existing sessions  you are still active for

     https://<tpamhost>/tpam/SessionRequestFilter.asp?StartPage=ManageRequest

→ To Request a password release

     https://<tpamhost>/tpam/PwdRequestFilter.asp?StartPage=NewRequest

... and so on

anyone ... anyone?.... buehler?

  • Hi,

    A new option was added to TPAM v2.5.920 and higher where you can create and save "Preferred Requests" for Systems\Accounts used regularly. Once the Preferred Requests are created and saved, you can advance to the target request by either:

    - Clicking on the [Preferred Requests] tab on the home page

    or

    - use the following URLs then Filter by "Use only Preferred Requests" set to Yes

    https://<TPAM Host>/tpam/SessionRequestFilter.asp?StartPage=NewRequest

    https://<TPAM Host>/tpam/PwdRequestFilter.asp?StartPage=NewRequest

    Hope this helps!

    For information on Preferred Requests, please refer to the Administrator guide here:

    Thank!

  • This is great - very useful. ... were I tasked with tweaking the functionality of this feature ....

    I would add the ability to append options like this

    https://<TPAM Host>/tpam/SessionRequestFilter.asp?StartPage=NewRequest?PreferredHost=<MYSECUREHOST>

    But why stop there ...

    I think a click every now and then on a web page is good for it... reminds it you're there.  But too many clicks is just bullying the page.  Any nobody wants that.

    https://<TPAM Host>/tpam/SessionRequestFilter.asp?StartPage=NewRequest?PreferredHost=<MYSECUREHOST>?ReasonCode=<[number from the list]>

    In an ideal world, I'd want the ability to send a URL string previously saved as a favorite on my PC that would send the formatted request, get prompted for my credential, and then get the requested session open with

    one click to launch the shortcut,

    one to submit my credential,

    and one required acknowledgement from the OS before I could start my work.

    TPAM feels like an endpoint ... from there you can access other endpoints. 

    As a customer, I feel it should just be the mediator/facilitator ... if I'm allowed access to that host over there ... then I should be able to call TPAM - like an Uber ride.

    off the soapbox ... aside from the clicky-interface, very useful functionality.  Thanks or the reply.
