Set the portal entry page

Use the Global Settings portlet to specify the page that a user sees when the user logs in to IBM WebSphere Portal.

The Global Settings portlet does not work in portal cluster configurations.

1. Click the Administration menu icon in the toolbar.

2. Click Portal Settings > Global Settings.

3. Make a selection from the field When a user logs in, the first page displayed:

   Will always be the user's default page (portal session will not resume)

   Choose this option if we want users to always return to the default page after login.

   Will be the page the user most recently visited (portal session will resume)

   Choose this option if we want users to return to the page from their last visit. This option is helpful when users lose their portal session in the middle of a task and need to login to return.

   Will be dependent upon the choice the user makes at login

   Choose this option to let users determine the initial view by their choice after login.

4. Click Save.

Results

If we have a portal cluster configuration, use the WAS console to set the properties persistent.session.level and persistent.session.option in the portal configuration service. For more information, refer to the topics about Configure user session.persistence, Portal configuration services, and Set service configuration properties.
