The URLs to the Administrative Preferences page and/or Portlet Template Preference page are specified in the Web Service editor on the Preferences page. The base URL is defined by the associated Remote Server.

A Portlet Template Preferences page is structured exactly like a standard Administrative Preferences page; the only difference is that the settings on the page apply to all portlets created from the associated portlet template. The IDK provides interfaces to manipulate settings in the portal database. For an example of setting and accessing settings, see Creating a Portlet Preferences Page.
