Sun Java System Portal Server 7.2 Administration Guide

ProcedureTo Set Up Desktop Attributes

  1. Log in to the Portal Server management console.

  2. Select the Portals tab.

  3. Select a portal server under Portals, then Desktop.

  4. From the Select DN drop-down menu, select any DN.

  5. Modify the configuration attributes as necessary under Desktop Attributes.

    The following options are available:

    COS Priority

    Sets the conflict resolution level for the Desktop service template used to resolve conflicts when multiple Desktop templates are merged. This attribute applies only to Organizations and Roles and doesn't apply to Users and Global DN.

    Parent Container

    Identifies which default container is rendered when the Desktop is called with an unspecified provider. The value for the Parent Container can be one of the containers which is defined as a TopLevelContainer that can draw a header and footer on the portal page. A container is a Top Level container if the display profile property TopLevel is set to true.

    Edit Container

    Specifies which default edit container to use to wrap the content when one is not specified in the URL. This container will be used by the parent container to draw the edit pages when the edit link is clicked on the channel title bar.

    Desktop Type

    The comma separated list used by the Desktop lookup operation when searching for templates and JSPs. The lookup starts at the first element in the list and each element represents a sub directory under the Desktop template base directory. e.g., "sampleportal,foo" in which case the lookup would be sampleportal directory, foo directory, default directory in that order.

    Desktop Attributes

    Specifies whether the Desktop attributes are displayed to the users associated with the role. This dynamic attribute is mainly used for role-based delegated administration in administration tag library. This attribute enabled to show, allows the delegated administrators to administer channels/containers inherited from the parent organizations. This attribute applies only to Organizations and Roles.

    Display Profile Priority

    Sets the priority of the display profile document. Display profile documents are merged from low priority to high priority. A lower number represents a lower priority. For example, a 1 is a lower priority than a 2. High priority documents override values set in lower priority documents using merge semantics (unless a lower priority document has locked the object for merging).


    Note –

    The display profile priority is not stored as Desktop service attribute.


    The following attributes apply only to Global (top level) DN.

    XML Parsing Validation

    Enables the validation for XML parsing.

    Federation

    Enables Identity Federation so that a user can associate, connect or bind multiple internet service providers, local identities, enabling them to have one network identity.

    Hosted Provider ID

    Specifies the unique identifier of the host that provides the network identity of a user.

    Session Reap Interval

    Specifies the session reap interval in seconds.

    Session Idle Time

    Specifies the idle time in seconds after which the session is terminated.

    Maximum Number of Client Sessions

    Specifies the maximum number of client sessions allowed at any given time.

    Anonymous Desktop

    When enabled, allows anonymous Desktop for the selected portal.

    Anonymous Access for Federated Users

    Prevents users with a network identity on a hosted provided to access the portal Desktop by providing a user name and password.

    Valid UIDs for Anonymous Desktop

    List of User IDs authorized to access the Desktop without authenticating.
