IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5: User assistance for administrators
Portal settings
Manage site settings.
Managing global settings Define the settings for your portal server. These settings include the
default portal language, the first page displayed when a user logs in, the option to set a URL for
the Find feature, and what will be displayed when a user is not authorized to view a
portlet.
Creating meaningful URLs for your site
You can create constant URLs for portal pages that are
easy to remember and therefore more user friendly. You can publish
these URLs externally for users your portal users.
Managing custom unique names The portal uses object IDs to identify portal resources unambiguously even
between different portals. They consist of an extended alphanumeric string that might be difficult
to remember. Portal administrators can use Manage Custom Unique Names to
assign unique names, or human readable names, to portal resources. They can
select names that can be easily remembered.
Managing markup languages You can use Manage Markups to define the types of markup languages to be
supported by the portal.
Managing client devices You can define the types of devices that can be used to access the portal.
Devices can include Web browsers on a personal computer, wireless phones, personal digital
assistants, and other types. To optimize the data that the portal sends to the client and to
handle the limitations and deviations of each individual client browser, the portal server
maintains information about all supported client devices in a client registry.
