Setting session initialization options

  1. In the Portal Manager, select Portal Configuration > Session Initialization.
  2. Specify this information:
    Locale Settings
    Select the appropriate default locale. This usually is the domestic language used in the back office configuration that is accessed by the portal. If you do not select a locale, en-US is used by default.
    User Authenticated Event Handler
    Default Style Family
    Select a style family for the current portal. The style families included with your installation are named according to color scheme. The only difference among the predefined style families is color.
    Default Page
    Specify the site page to open by default when a user signs in to the portal. For a test portal, this should be set to /IPFSitePages/Main.aspx.
    Default Master Field Display Format Name
    For portal customization, you can specify the field display format to be used by default when a portal developer creates a new site page. Our pages use these FDFs: Portal developers can override this setting when they create a new page.
    Login Page
    Specify the login page to open by default when a user accesses the portal URL. For a test portal, this should be set to /IPFSitePages/Login.aspx.
    Make configuration changes Hot Safe
    Optionally, you can select this setting so portal configuration changes do not affect current portal user sessions. Changes are seen only after a user logs out and then back in to the portal. If you do not select this setting, configuration changes are seen immediately on the portal.
    Allow Smart Navigation by Default
    This setting is provided for portal developers.

    Specify whether to allow smart navigation for all eligible portal pages by default. This setting can be overridden at the page level. For more information, refer to the “Smart navigation” topic in the portal customization guide.

  3. Click Save.
