Have you ever been in your dashboard and needed to get information from another website? Were you aware that you can add external links into you dashboard? You can add links to other websites and even save your log in credentials to the other sites in your GFI MAX Dashboard. The External Links button gives you quick access to all of the websites you have created links to.
To Access "Configure External Links" Go to Settings-> Configure External Links
Here is more information directly from our help file:
To add a link to another external application or web-site, select New and then complete all of the following
information.
Name - the name of the link as it will appear in the
Dashboard.
URL - the full address of the web-site or application that
is the target of the link.
Force HTTPS - will, if ticked, update the URL to ensure that the
link is opened using a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection
Method - the way in which parameters are passed to the external application or web-site.
POST will send parameters and their values in the request and
as such they are hidden from the user.
GET will add the parameters and their values to the query
string and as such they are visible in the address bar of the
browser.
Parameters – is used to pass information such as usernames,
passwords and actions to the external web-site or application. Simply
enter the Name and Value of the parameter for it to be passed to the external application or web-site using the method
selected.
Please
note that if the parameter name contains
pass, passwd or password, the value entered will not be visible once the link has
been saved.
Once the required information has been entered, click
Save.
GFI MAX Mail Protection and Monitis are already in your dashboard so you can use these links immediately. This can be used as a first step into Remote Management and Mail Protection integration. More integration is coming soon.
Also, make sure you use this feature to add a little website called www.allthingsmax.com. I hear that the articles posted here are quite informative.
