Creating a unique portal

You should not change or configure the starter portal. Instead you must create one or more unique portals to work with in the Portal Manager.

  1. In the Portal Manager, select Environment Configuration > Other Portals.
  2. On the toolbar, click New.
  3. Specify this information:
    Portal Name
    Specify a unique name for this portal. The name is displayed in the Portal Manager. It is not displayed on the portal website.
    Host Name
    Specify the host name for this portal.
    Protocol
    The https protocol is used by default and cannot be changed.
    Portal Site
    Authenticator Data Source Type
    Specify the back office data source that is used for portal user password validation. The portal administrator user account must exist in this data source, because it will be used to sign in to the Portal Manager for this portal.
    Permissions
    Give administrator permissions to the Portal Admin group. The portal administrator user account is in this group. You can give administrator permissions to other users and/or groups as needed.
  4. Click OK. The portal is added in a locked state until job processing finishes. You can click Refresh to see when the lock has cleared.
  5. Next you must apply data sources and configure the portal. With the new portal selected, click Launch Portal Manager.
  6. Sign in with portal administrator credentials.
  7. After the Portal Manager for the new portal is open, close the Portal Manager for the starter portal.
