Managing global settings
Define the settings for your portal server. These settings include
the default portal language, the first page displayed when a user logs in,
the option to set a URL for the Find feature, and what will be displayed when
a user is not authorized to view a portlet.
Creating meaningful URLs for your site
You can create constant URLs for portal pages that are easy to
remember and therefore more user friendly. You can publish these URLs externally
for users your portal users.
Managing custom unique names
The portal uses object IDs to identify portal resources unambiguously
even between different portals. They consist of an extended alphanumeric string
that might be difficult to remember. Portal administrators can use Manage
Custom Unique Names to assign unique names,
or human readable names, to portal resources. They can select names that can
be easily remembered.
Managing markup languages
You can use Manage Markups to define the types of markup languages
to be supported by the portal.
Managing client devices
You can define the types of devices that can be used to access
the portal. Devices can include Web browsers on a personal computer, wireless
phones, personal digital assistants, and other types. To optimize the data
that the portal sends to the client and to handle the limitations and deviations
of each individual client browser, the portal server maintains information
about all supported client devices in a client registry.
