Portal Server Connection

Before you can deploy a portal, you need to set up a connection to the target portal server.

To create a portal server connection:

1. Click Create.

2. In the Create Portal Server Connection page, specify the following details:

   1. Name: Specify the name of the connection. Note that only alphanumeric characters can be used.

   2. URL: Specify the URL of the target portal server in the following format:

      http://targetserverhost:port

      where targetserverhost:port refer to the host name and port number of the portal server where you want to deploy your portals.

   3. Username: Type the user name used for connecting to the target server.

   4. Password: Type the password for the specified user name.

3. Click Test to make sure the connection works.

4. Click Create.

   Note that if the connection test fails due to the portal server being offline, the connection will still be set up, and can be used once the server is available.
