Detailed Description

This class defines the applications for a system.


There are three types of applications which can be defined:

1) Web applications: CSP/ZEN and REST
2) Privileged routine applications
3) Doc DB Applications, previously known as Client Application<br>
Depending on the type of application defined (Type property), properties may or may not be relevant to that type of application. See each property description for its relevance for each type of application.
Application names have the following properties:
1) Application names are case insensitive.
2) Maximum length of an application name is 64 characters.
The Admin Secure:USE permission is required to operate on an application


The table for this class should be manipulated only through object access, the published API's or through the System Management Portal. It should not be updated through direct SQL access.

Member Data Documentation

◆ AutheEnabled

AutheEnabled

Authentication and Session mechanisms enabled.


For CSP Web Application only.
Note that these bits correspond to the same bit numbers in the Security.System class
Bit 2 = AutheK5API
Bit 5 - AuthePassword
Bit 6 = AutheUnauthenticated
Bit 11 = AutheLDAP
Bit 13 = AutheDelegated
Bit 14 = LoginToken
Bit 20 = TwoFactorSMS
Bit 21 = TwoFactorPW
 

◆ AutoCompile

AutoCompile

This specifies whether CSP files should automatically compile or not.


For CSP Web Application only.
If this is turned on, then when a CSP file is more recent than its compiled class,
it is recompiled. This is normally something you would turn on in development environments
and turn off in production environments.  

◆ CSPZENEnabled

CSPZENEnabled

Indicates whether this application will process CSP/Zen Pages.

For CSP Web Application only.

 

◆ CSRFToken

CSRFToken

Prevent login CSRF attack.


For CSP Web Application only.
When enabled generate a token and cookie in the login page that is validated before accepting any username/password. Enabling this will prevent programatic access to pages in this application that just pass in the username/password on the initial request. It also prevents the use of the CSPSHARE=1 URL Parameter to pass the session token in the URL when cookies are required for the application.  

◆ ChangePasswordPage

ChangePasswordPage

A predefined change password page that can be sent out to the browser if the user account requires

that a password change is required.
For CSP Web Application only.
 

◆ ClientApplications

ClientApplications

List of time stamps and hash values for valid executables.

Each element is in the form $zdatetime($h,3)^HashValue. For DocDB/Client Application only.  

◆ CookiePath

CookiePath

Scope of the session cookie.


For CSP Web Application only.
This determines which urls the browser will send the session cookie back to InterSystems IRIS.
If your application name is 'myapp', it defaults to '/myapp/' meaning it will only send
the cookie for pages under '/myapp/'. You should restrict this to only what is required
by your application to prevent this session cookie being used by other CSP application
on this machine, or from being seen by any other application on this web server.

 

◆ DeepSeeEnabled

DeepSeeEnabled

Indicates whether DeepSee access is enabled for this application.


For CSP Web Application only.
Corresponds with the Analytics option shown in Management Portal

 

◆ Description

Description

Application description.


For all application types.
 

◆ DispatchClass

DispatchClass

If defined this will dispatch all requests in this CSP application to this one class.

This will bypass the normal url to classname conversion so allowing the specified class complete control over this dispatch of the page. A predefined dispatch class that can be used is 'CSP.REST' which provides REST dispatch capabilities. For REST Web Application only.

 

◆ Enabled

Enabled

Application is enabled.


For all application types.
 

◆ ErrorPage

ErrorPage

A CSP or CLS page that will be displayed if an error occurs when generating the page.


For CSP Web Application only.
 

◆ EventClass

EventClass

This specifies the class whose methods are invoked for CSP application events,

such as a timeout. For CSP Web Application only.
 

◆ __ForceSave

__ForceSave
private

Used to force a save of the object.

 

◆ GroupById

GroupById

Indicates whether this application's authentication will move in sync with other applications in the same id group.

For CSP Web Application only.  

◆ InbndWebServicesEnabled

InbndWebServicesEnabled

Indicates whether this application will process Web Services.


For CSP Web Application only.
Corresponds with the "Inbound Web Services" option shown in Management Portal.

 

◆ IsNameSpaceDefault

IsNameSpaceDefault

Indicates that this application is the default application for its namespace.

As such it will be returned by the call $System.CSP.GetDefaultApp(). Corresponds with the "Namespace Default Application" option shown in Management Portal.

 

◆ JWTAccessTokenTimeout

JWTAccessTokenTimeout

Specifies the timeout (in seconds) for JWT Access Tokens.

This is only relevant for REST Web Applications where <property>JWTAuthEnabled</property> is true.  

◆ JWTAuthEnabled

JWTAuthEnabled

Indicates that this application uses JWT Bearer tokens for authentication.

For REST Web Application only.

 

◆ JWTRefreshTokenTimeout

JWTRefreshTokenTimeout

Specifies the timeout (in seconds) for JWT Refresh Tokens.

This is only relevant for REST Web Applications where <property>JWTAuthEnabled</property> is true.  

◆ LockCSPName

LockCSPName

Lock CSP Name.


For CSP Web Application only.
If true, then you can only access this CSP page if the url you enter matches the url stored in the CSPURL parameter value in the class. CSP pages have the CSPURL set to the original url requested automatically when they are compiled. If the url does not match, you get a page not found error.

For example if you have two CSP applications defined that both map to the same namespace and the same directory '/A' and '/B'. Then you view '/A/page.csp' this will load this page and create the class 'csp.page' with the CSPURL parameter set to '/A/page.csp'. With this flag set you may only access this page using the url '/A/page.csp'. If this flag is false you may access it via the pages '/B/page.csp', '/A/csp.page.cls', '/B/csp.page.cls'. Note that the flag is checked on the application associated with the CSPURL parameter, so even if the '/B' application has the flag turned off, if the '/A' application has it turned on you will get a page not found error from '/B/page.csp'.

If you modify the CSP class and change the CSPURL="" then this disables checking for this page.  

◆ LoginPage

LoginPage

A predefined login page that can be sent out to the browser if the application requires

For CSP Web Application only.
an authenticated identity and one is not available yet.
 

◆ MatchRoles

MatchRoles

Mapping of MatchRole/TargetRoles pairs to assign to the application

For all application types.

MatchRoles are in the format:
MatchRole1:TargetRole1:TargetRole2,MatchRole2:TargetRole3:TargetRole4
To specify a role to always be granted to an application, set MatchRole="", i.e. (:TargetRole1)

For Routine/Database pairs, Routines are in the format:
Routine1:dbname:Flag,Routine2:dbname:Flag<br>

For Client application identification hash, ClientApplications are in the format:
Hash,Hash1,Hash2<br>

 

◆ Name

Name

Short Name for Application.

Web applications should start with a "/".
Client Applications are in the format AppName.EXE.
Privileged routines can be any format.
 

◆ NameSpace

NameSpace

The namespace where pages for this application are run.


For CSP Web Application only.

 

◆ Package

Package

Specifies the package to prefix to the class name for all CSP files in this application.


For CSP Web Application only.
If not specified it defaults to "csp".
 

◆ Path

Path

This specifies the physical path (directory) for the CSP files on the InterSystems IRIS server.


For CSP Web Application only.

 

◆ PermittedClasses

PermittedClasses

A name pattern which is used by the CSP Server to limit the classes which may be run in this application.


For CSP Web Application only.
This is a COS pattern, (1"B",1"A".1N) match {B.cls, A0.cls ... A9.cls}
 

◆ Recurse

Recurse

This specifies whether to use subdirectories.


For CSP Web Application only.
If WPath is the Web Path and PPath is the Physical Path, then with recurse turned on,
WPath/xxx/yyy will look in PPath/xxx/yyy. If recurse is turned off, only files directly
contained in WPath are used.  

◆ RedirectEmptyPath

RedirectEmptyPath

This specifies whether to use FHIR-standard redirects of empty paths.


For REST Web Application only.
For example, if the request is for WPath/csp/appname and the app /csp/appname/
has this property enabled, then instead of serving the request with the next level down
(csp, if it exists), the request will be served by /csp/appname/.  

◆ Resource

The Resource name that controls access to this application.


For all application types.
If no resource is defined, then it is a public application which anyone can run.
 

◆ Routines

Routines

List of Routines that can invoke this application.


For Privileged Routine Applications only.
These are in the format Routine/Class:dbname:Flag, where dbname is the name of the database where the routine resides; Flag=0 is a routine, Flag=1 is a class name.

 

◆ ServeFiles

ServeFiles

Allows the web server built into InterSystems IRIS to serve up static files, e.g., html or jpg files, from this application path.


For CSP Web Application only.
This also allows the stream server to serve files from this path.
0 - No - Never serve files from this application path
1 - Always - Always serve files from this application path, ignore CSP security setting for this path for static files. This is the default for new applications as it is backward compatible with serving files from the web server.
2 - Always and cached - Always serve files from this application path and allow the CSP gateway to cache these files to avoid having to request them from InterSystems IRIS. This is the mode we expect deployed application to use
3 - Use CSP security - If the user has permissions to view a csp/cls page in this application then allow them to view a static file, if they do not have permissions to view a csp/cls page then return a 404 page not found page.
 

◆ ServeFilesTimeout

ServeFilesTimeout

Time, in seconds, of how long to cache static files.


For CSP Web Application only.

 

◆ SessionScope

SessionScope

SameSite value that is used for CSP Session cookies.


For REST and CSP Web Application only.
This setting affects whether session cookies are sent for cross-site requests.
The default setting for a new application is Strict.
0 - None - Send cookie with cross-site requests .
1 - Lax - Send cookie with top-level cross-site navigation.
2 - Strict - Do not send cookie with cross-site requests. Default.
 

◆ SuperClass

SuperClass

This specifies the default superclass.


For CSP Web Application only.
If blank, it defaults to CSP.Page.
 

◆ Timeout

Timeout

This specifies the default session timeout, in seconds.


For CSP Web Application only.

 

◆ Type

Type

Type - Bitmap describing the type of application

Bit 0 = System Application - Reserved
Bit 1 = CSP/REST Web Application (Default)
Bit 2 = Privileged routine application
Bit 3 = DocDB/Client Application
 

◆ UseCookies

UseCookies

This specifies whether to use cookies for CSP session management or not.


For REST and CSP Web Application only.
You can set this on a per-application basis. It does NOT affect the user's use of
cookies in their application, simply how the session is managed. The available
options are:
'Never' use cookies - This will just use the CSPCHD parameter to persist the session
state from page to page and will not send a cookie to the browser at all.
'AutoDetect' (the default) - This will start by sending the cookie to the browser and
also including the CSPCHD parameter in all the links and forms. Then when the user clicks
on the next link if the browser accepted the cookie it will switch to the 'Always'
mode and turn off the use of the CSPCHD parameters. If the browser did not accept
the cookie it will turn into the 'Never' mode.
'Always' use cookies - Do not include the CSPCHD parameter. Default.
0 = Never, 1 = AutoDetect, 2 = Always  

◆ UserCookieScope

UserCookieScope

Default SameSite value for cookies created by users' calls to CSP.Response.SetCookie().


For REST and CSP Web Application only.
This setting affects whether session cookies are sent for cross-site requests.
Users can override the default by specifying the SameSite value in their SetCookie call.
0 - None - Send cookie with cross-site requests .
1 - Lax - Send same-site cookies with top-level cross-site navigation.
2 - Strict - Do not send same-site cookies with cross-site requests. Default.

◆ WSGICallable

WSGICallable

This is the name of the WSGI callable application.

 

◆ iKnowEnabled

iKnowEnabled

Indicates whether iKnow access is enabled for this application.

Like the DeepSeeEnabled property , this corresponds with the Analytics option shown in Management Portal.
