Background documentationDefining the Portal Gateway Mechanism Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

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
