Using Magic Variables (On-prem deployment)

For an on-prem deployment, the Client credentials can be configured in AppViewX using magic variables. Magic variables allow a custom or pre-defined hook to be used as a ‘variable’ anywhere within the workflow automation process, thus facilitating reusability within workflow.

You can create magic variables for both the Client Id and the Client Secret.

  1. Navigate to the Workflow page in AppViewX.
  2. On the Workflow page, from the navigation pane on the left, click Magic variables.
    The Magic variables pop-up window is displayed with a list of Magic variables displayed on the left.
  3. To configure a new Magic variable, in the Magic variable window, click .
  4. Enter the required field information to create the magic variable.
