Create a web application

In the Web App Manager, you can create a web application that you can import assets to and execute in runtime.

Procedure

  1. In the Cockpit, select the Web App Manager.

    Result: A table with existing web applications is shown.

  2. Select Create.

    Result: The Create Web App dialog opens.

  3. In Name, enter a meaningful name for the web application.

  4. In Package, assign a development package of artifacts to the web application.

  5. Select Create.

    Result: You start in the General tab. In Main File Path, the file path name index.html is filled by default.

    Ensure that the root file path name of the bundled assets is identical to the file path name in the Main File Path field so that the associated assets from the root file path can be retrieved.
  6. To enable anonymous access to the web application without requiring prior user authentication, select Enable Anonymous Access to Web App.

    This setting to enable anonymous access is only displayed, if you have a license for Neptune DXP - Open Edition that includes this feature. Please contact us if you require this feature specifically for your use case.
  7. To control which users can access the web application, in the Role tab, select Add to add one or more user roles to the web application. Only users that belong to the selected user role/s will be able to view and access the web application.

Results

  • You have created a web application without assets.

  • You have added one or more user roles to the web application to control user access.
