   • 3. Links

     In the Links tab, a links list for all of the applications selected is displayed. Click Expand All to see more information about each link. Configure the following link information, as needed:

     • Name: The name of the link, as specified in the application segment, is displayed by default. You can change this to any display name you require for the link. For example, the default name could be www.example.com, but could be changed to "My Example Application". This is how the link text will appear within the user portal.
     • Display on Portal: Enable the link. If Disabled, the link will not be displayed on the user portal.
     • Protocol: Select a protocol (i.e., HTTP, HTTPS) for the link.

     If you selected Private Applications in the previous step:

     • For private applications where Browser Access is not enabled, you can specify HTTP or HTTPS.
     • For private applications where Browser Access is enabled, this field will default to the protocol that was configured in the application segment, and it cannot be changed.

     If you selected Public Applications in the previous step, you must specify HTTP or HTTPS. By default, this field is populated based on the protocol selection made in the previous step.

     • Domain: The domain name used in the URL for the link is automatically entered based on the configured application segments you selected in the previous step. This field is read only.
       • If this is a Browser Access-enabled application, the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) as specified in the application segment is displayed by default.
       • If this is an application that can only be accessed by the Zscaler Client Connector, the IP address or FQDN as specified in the application segment is displayed by default.

     Regardless of whether the application is Browser Access-enabled or requires Zscaler Client Connector, the URL string supports HTTP and HTTPS protocols.

     • Path: (Optional) By default this is set to forward slash (/), but you can edit this field to use a specific path for the URL. For example, an HTTPS link to www.exampleapp1.com would have a URL of https://www.exampleapp1.com/ by default. However, you could change the path to /preferences so that the URL points to https://www.exampleapp1.com/preferences.
     • Description: (Optional) You can enter a description for the link.
     • Logo/Favicon: (Optional) Click Select image to upload a logo/favicon for the link. You can upload any valid .ico, .jpg, or .png image file type that is 32 x 32 pixels or smaller.

     Click Next.

     If a user is connecting to Private Applications via Zscaler Client Connector on at least one device, then they will see links for applications they can access, across all devices. However, access policy will restrict access to an application based upon the Zscaler Client Connector Posture Profile criteria.

     For example, you could have an access policy rule that allows a user to access the "HR Application" on their Window's device, but have another rule that allows them to access the "Sales Application" on their macOS device. In this example, the user will see links for the "HR Application" and "Sales Application" on the user portal, but they will only be able to access an application if they are using the proper device. To learn more, see About Access Policy and About Device Posture Profiles.
