Configuring remote WebSphere Portal servers

The method by which you configure a remote Portal server is very similar to configuring a local server. For more information, refer to Defining local servers

Before you test or debug portals or portlets on a remote server, you may need to do some additional configuration steps on the server.

To test or debug with multiple users on the same remote portal server: On the Portal Administration page on the remote portal server, create a user that will access the portlets being tested. Testing or debugging a portlet on a remote server automatically adds the required permissions. Every user must use their own user ID. Otherwise, the portlet application that you are previewing may be accidentally uninstalled by someone whose user ID is the same as yours. Or, your preview page may be accidentally updated, if the label is also the same.
