Authentication 

As the portal runs on the J2EE Engine, it supports the same authentication mechanisms and the configuration steps are the same as for the J2EE Engine. To find information about authentication on the J2EE Engine, see Authentication on J2EE Engine. In particular, see the section on Configuring Authentication Mechanisms for step-by-step procedures on how to set up various authentication mechanisms.

To log on to the portal, users must enter the full URL in the browser including the fully qualified domain name, otherwise the browser will not get the correct logon ticket. If the portal is running in the intranet only, you can configure your Web server to change a host name to a full URL.
