1 Completing Portal Initial Set-Up Tasks

When you first deploy your portal, you need to perform several set-up tasks before your portal is ready for your users.

1. Change the default Administrator password and delegate administrator roles.

2. Configure display, navigation, and branding for the default experience definition and any additional experience definitions.

3. Populate the portal with administrative users and browsing users, and configure groups, users, user profiles, and Access Control Lists (ACLs) to enable managed access.

4. Populate the portal with documents, and configure ACLs to manage access.

5. Set up automated system maintenance, such as user synchronization, search updates, document refresh, and housekeeping jobs.

After you have completed your initial portal deployment, you can extend your base portal deployment to include users from new authentication sources, new content types, documents from new content sources, or search among federated portals. You might optionally configure localization, single sign-on (SSO), and advanced configuration file settings.
