Web APXs

Web APXs are implemented using CGI programs or PHP scripts. These CGI programs and PHP scripts are executed inside a user-specific OGSH session. They may access SA facilities such as rosh, the SA API, CLI, or any commands allowable from within an OGSH session. Web APXs are served by a built-in Apache web server with a PHP module enabled.

You can access Web APXs in two ways: using a stand-alone web browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox, or from the SA Client. Microsoft ActiveX is not supported.

Invoking a Web APX from a stand-alone Web browser the first time will trigger a login dialog that requires verification of the SA user credentials. Invoking a Web APX from the SA Client does not require additional login. Web APXs can be used to build user Interfaces for custom customer applications.

To launch APXs using Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 6 and 7 on Windows Server 2003, 2008 and 2012 with Enhanced Security Configuration enabled, the SA Client URL must first be added to Internet Explorer’s trusted site list.
