Easy,

When you create a web tab you can specify the endpoint that should be loaded.  If you provide a url to your application it will load in the tab.  Try entering www.google.com as a test and see what it looks like.

When you specify your url you can also pass some parameters such as standard user fields or custom fields. i.e. the application being loaded may want to verify who the user is.

Hi,

Thanks for the response. What I actually need is to launch another exe which may be installed in the users desktop, This will ask for a username/passwd and then launches the application based on the login credentials.

 

Thanks,

Kamath
