Documentation on Customizing the Portal Desktop

 

Portal Server document collection had a title called Desktop Customization Guide. During Portal Server 7.0 release, the document collection was reorganized and consolidated.

Someone recently asked why such a useful guide was dropped. No, the content was not dropped.

The new improved version is called Portal Server Developer Sample Guide.

Guide for configuring single sign-on with Java ES 5 communications services

Questions about configuring single sign-on(SSO) with Java ES 5's communications services products (i.e.,  Messaging Server, Calendar server, Communications Express) are very common on the portal's discussion boards. While it is quite easy to configure SSO, it involves a number of manual steps and is hence error prone.

One of the guides that I constantly refer to and also point others when they are struggling with SSO is the Java ES 5 communications services deployment example for a single host. This guide explains configuration of the related components of the Java ES 5 stack. If you already have the communications products installed and configured for SSO then you can directly skip to the section that discusses configuration of the portal's communications channels.

The guide provides only the quick and easy information that you need to get things working. For more detailed information about the communications channels check out the Portal Configuration Guide.

Tuning Portal Server for Production

Leading the Portal Server Performance Team puts me in contact with many of our customers at all stages of their portal implementations.

In many cases, I see that performance tests on site are - at least partially invalid- because the system has not been completely tuned.  Admittedly, tuning portal server for performance involves many steps and includes the tuning of all underlying components, among them the web container, directory server and access manager.  In every one of those cases, performance improves dramatically as soon as the server is appropriately tuned.

So I just want to advertise a bit the tuning scripts that we ship with portal.  These scripts make tuning trivial and take care of all the steps.  Our main tuning script, perftune is built on top of the access manager tuning script called amtune.

The scripts are well documented, if a bit hard to find.  The important part though is that they are easy to run.  The only parameters required are the passwords of the services touched. Definitely worth a read.

Gateway for Portal Server documentation

Users of  Portal Server 7.1 can quickly access topic-based information by visiting the Documentation Center. The Documentation Center is a collection of links to commonly referenced information in Portal Server document collection. The purpose of the Documentation Center is to bunch information available in different portal server documents based on user requirements.

For example, users configuring Portal Server after installation will find topic links such as "Using Sample Configuration XML File" (from the Portal Configuration Guide), and "Modifying Proxylet Rules" (from the Portal Secure Remote Access Guide) under the same section.

There are several such sections that pull topic links from different guides. So, make Documentation Center your information gateway to Portal Server.
