By default, the Tomcat server is configured to reject any image not hosted on the application server. As a result, the link, html and image widgets do not allow referencing external images.
A simple change to the default tomcat configuration (in the $MM_HOME/tomcat/conf/web.xml) can fix that. Change:
<filter>

Create a Container at the bottom of the dashboard. Drag the HTML Text widget into the container and click CONFIGURE.
Enter the text “PII Elements Identified and/or Tagged” and format as below:
Click OK.
The HTML text is now embedded in your dashboard.
Embedded Webpage Widget
With this widget you may embed any page referenced by a URL into the dashboard.
Drag the Embedded Webpage widget into the bottom of the container with the HTML Text and click CONFIGURE. Then click URL BUILDER
Click OK.
We replaced the fixed configuration version ID with a substitution parameter for it, thus this widget will present the PII element far whatever configuration is currently being viewed.
Click OK.
An HTML page from the product itself is embedded in the dashboard.
Image Widget
With this widget you may embed an image into the dashboard.
The image must be referenced as a URL. The product does not store these images for you.
By default, the Tomcat server is configured to reject any image not hosted on the application server. As a result, the link, html and image widgets do not allow referencing external images.
A simple change to the default tomcat configuration (in the $MM_HOME/tomcat/conf/web.xml) can fix that. Change:
