Creating and testing the portal on your own domain

These steps allow you to quickly create a portal on your domain and test to see that it can be accessed.
  1. 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 that you set up in the previous task.
    Authenticator Data Source Type
    Specify the back office data source that is used for portal user password validation.
    Permissions
    Give administrator permissions to the Portal Admin group. The portal administrator user account is in this group.
  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. With the portal selected, click Launch Portal Manager.
  6. Sign in with the portal administrator credentials.
    • If the Portal Manager for this new portal does not open, check with your network administrator to make sure the mapping was set up correctly from the portal host name on your domain to the Infor-provided host name.
    • If the Portal Manager does open, you can continue by configuring this portal. Many tasks are the same as for an initial portal configuration, however you should refer to these topics first for more information:
      • "Creating additional portals" and "Loading a saved portal configuration" in the chapter titled, Managing Portals
