Administering

This section takes you through setting up the portal. It is divided into the sections listed below.

• Before you start administering the portal
  You can administer IBM^® WebSphere^® Portal Express in a variety of ways. Read this overview section to learn about what you should do before you start administering the site.

• Portal administration tools
  Learn about the different tools that you can use to administer the portal.

• Managing access, users, and groups
  This section describes how to create and then manage access, users, and groups related to IBM WebSphere Portal Express security.

• Managing portlets and portlet applications
  Before you make portlets or portlet applications available to your users by putting them on portal pages, you need to prepare them. This topic gives an overview of tasks that you might perform to prepare the portlets and portlet applications. This includes installing, deploying, and configuring portlets and applications.

• Managing pages, layout, and content
  WebSphere Portal provides tools that enable administrators to control the content, appearance, and behavior of the portal. Administrators can control access by configuring these tools and setting access rights.

• Portal configuration
  This topic provides information about configuring the portal.

• Multiple virtual portals
  This section describes how you can scope your WebSphere Portal Express to have multiple virtual portals.

• Language support
  To reach as many users as possible, WebSphere Portal Express supports different languages for different locations. For instance, a large, international corporation might address users in different countries or regions through multilingual Web sites. In this context the portal can concurrently serve portal views to large numbers of users, each in user's preferred language.

• Using WSRP services with the portal
  IBM WebSphere Portal Express supports the Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) standard. By using this standard, portals can provide portlets, applications, and content as WSRP services, and other portals can integrate the WSRP services as remote portlets for their users.
