Use embedded controls with Work Tasks

To allow an embedded control to be used in Work Tasks, fully qualified host names must be included in URLs for several areas.

Enterprise Console URLs in Farm Configuration Wizard

In the farm configuration, the Enterprise Console URL must include the fully qualified domain name of the host node for Enterprise Console.

1. In the Farm Configuration Wizard, on the first page click Next.

2. On the Edit Workflow Management Farm Settings page, select Service Settings and click Next.

3. On the Services/Global Settings page, click the Enterprise Console option's Edit icon.

4. For the Internet Path and Intranet Path properties, make sure that the fully qualified domain name of the host node for Enterprise Console is used in the URL.

   

Token Service Properties in Central Configuration

The URL for the Token Service property in Central Configuration must include the fully qualified domain name of the local host on which the AVEVA Identity Manager is running. Also, the token service user credentials must be for a user account that has access to Identity Manager.

5. Open the Central Configuration application.

   The default URL that is entered in the browser might not include the fully qualified domain name for the local host.

6. In the URL, if it's not already included, add the fully qualified domain name to the URL and press Enter.

7. On the main page, click Token Service Settings.

   The Token Service page appears.

8. In Token Service URL, make sure that the URL specifies https:// and includes the fully qualified name of the host on which the Identity Manager is running.

9. In User Credentials, make sure that the username and password are for a user account that has access to Identity Manager.

   

Enterprise Console

The URL used to log into Enterprise Console must include the fully qualified domain name of the host on which Enterprise Console is running (e.g., http://MESWM.mymesorg.com:8000/enterpriseconsole).

URL for an Embedded Control in a Form

When embedding one of the controls in a form, the control's URL property entry on the control's Basic properties tab must specify https:// and use the fully qualified domain name of the node on which the MES Web Portal host is running (e.g., https://MESWM.mymesorg.com/mes/<page path>). If the MES Web Portal port number is not the default 443, it must also be included in the URL.

Also, beginning with Work Tasks 2020 U1, the MES Web Portal URL must be specified as a safe site in the Enterprise Console web.config file (Work Tasks\Web\EnterpriseConsole\web.config).

Add the MES Web Portal URL as a safe site

10. Modify the following entry to include the MES Web Portal URL entry, shown in bold (replace "fully_qualified_hostname" with the host's actual fully qualified domain name):

    <add name="Content-Security-Policy" value="default-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafeeval'

    ws: wss: https://fully_qualified_hostname/MES; font-src 'self' data: https://fonts.gstatic.com;

    img-src 'self' data:;" />

11. From IIS Manager, restart AVEVAWorkTasksSites.

12. Restart all AVEVA Work Tasks services.
