I have a external application which is used for printing stuff. This application is NOT build in Pega. I have created a Portal called as “IL Print Dashboard”. I want that if the user login into this portal then that Print Application should be visible within the pega portal.
Please explain step by step how i can go for it.
The usual approach is to add a landing page or custom component in your portal and load the external app in an ‘iframe’.
this only works if the external app does not block framing with headers like X-Frame-Options or Content-Security-Policy frame-ancestors
- update the portal tp add a landing page to in App Studio / Constellation so users can log into
- use a custom DX component / iframe wrapper to render the external print application URL
- assign that portal to the required operators/access group so users logging into that portal land on the page that contains the embedded app
Hello @SrijanA17604615 Welcome to the Pega forums ![]()
Few days back there was a post on a similar requirement.
Might give you some more insights.

We want to open that print application in same window in pega.
@SrijanA17604615 approach to opening an external application within Pega is usually done via iframe. Did you get a chance to follow the approach I have suggested earlier?
Were there any issues/ challenges while implementing the same?
If you’re planning to show the external application within Pega and perform operations, then DX component would be an option.
