Changing Default Portals

You can change the default portal in two ways:

  • Change the default portal in the node definition.

  • Insert the new default portal name into the URL.

Changing the Default Portal in the Portal Definition

To change the default portal:

  1. In the current default portal, select PeopleTools, and then Portal, and then Portal Node Definitions.

  2. Select the default local node and then click the Portal tab.

  3. Select the Default check box for the portal that you want to open.

  4. Save.

  5. Sign out.

  6. Shut down and restart the portal web server.

  7. Sign in.

    When you sign in, the new default portal is invoked.

Changing the Default Portal by Inserting the New Portal Name in the URL

You can also change the default portal by changing the URL. To change the URL, insert the new portal name instead of the existing portal name. For example, to change to the supplier portal from the employee portal, make the following substitution:

URL before the change: http://localhost/psp/ps/EMPLOYEE/QE_LOCAL/c/UTILITIES.PORTAL_DEFINITIONS.GBL

URL after the change:http://localhost/psp/ps/SUPPLIER/QE_LOCAL/c/UTILITIES.PORTAL_DEFINITIONS.GBL

Note:

This type of portal change is valid until the browser session is closed.
