Defining the Portal Gateway Mechanism 

The portal gateway mechanism serves as an entrance to the portal. It allows you to modify the behavior of the portal by:

·        Customizing URLs to portal applications

·        Using aliases for custom URLs

You can assign names (aliases) to custom URLs in the portal to enable easy access to portal content via different URLs

For example, having defined more than one entry URL, you can configure the gateway to direct a URL to a high or low speed connection.

·        Defining suitable portal pages for users based on their authorization level and authentication schemes
