Specify this information:

Pre-Login Account Settings

This setting does not apply to cloud customers. Specify PortalPreLogin and the password for the pre-login user account.
After applying this setting, you can click Test to verify the ID and password you have entered.

Locale Settings

Select the appropriate default locale. This usually is the domestic language used in the back office configuration accessed by the portal. If you do not select a locale, en-US is used by default.

User Authenticated Event Handler

You can leave this blank or you can create a custom script to add logic for a user-authenticated event in your portal. If you create a custom script, use this field to apply the layout. See Generating custom events.

Default Page

Specify the page to open by default when a user signs in to the portal. If you activated the DevStart feature, you can select /Main. Otherwise, specify the name of a page that you plan to create.

Default Master Field Display Format Name

For portal customization, you can specify the FDF to be used by default when a portal developer creates a new site page. For example, if the DevStart feature is activated, you could specify MasterPage. This value is optional and can be overridden when new pages are created.

Login Page

Specify the login page to open by default when a user accesses the portal URL. If you activated the DevStart feature, you can select /Login. Otherwise, specify the name of a login page that you plan to create.
Click Save.
