Creating an URL link to an user or any object

Situation

Creating a URL link to an object is not an out of the box feature of NordicEdge Identity Manager version 3
It can hower be easily created with a simple filter

Description

The objects DN must be both Base64 and URL encoded before putting into the URL. This can be done by calling the method:

B64andURLencodeString in the class se.nordicedge.servlets.NEIDMgmtUtils. Put the encoded link in the parameter browseToAndOpenDN then use the parameter action=browseFrame, example:
https://www.myneimmachine.com/nordicedge/NEIDMgmt?action=browseFrame&browseToAndOpenDN=aswq1wed22s2s2s

Example of the filter: 

    /**
     * Generate URL to the an Object DN
     * @param host The im host name
     * @param isSSL If https is being used
     * @param webApp The tomcat webapp name (usually nordicedge)
     * @param objectDN The DN to encode
     * @return the full URL
     */
    public String getURLToObjectDN(String host, boolean isSSL, String webApp, String objectDN){
        String url="http://";
        if(isSSL)
            url="https://";
        url=url+host+"/"+webApp+"/NEIDMgmt?action=browseFrame&browseToAndOpenDN=";
        se.nordicedge.servlets.NEIDMgmtUtils encoder = new se.nordicedge.servlets.NEIDMgmtUtils();      
        objectDN=encoder.B64andURLencodeString(objectDN, false);
        return url+objectDN;       
    }
