Accessing the portlet session on the anonymous page

Portlet Factory, Version 6.1.2

Accessing the portlet session on the anonymous page

By default, a portlet can be placed on a page that does not require authentication. The portlet or page is given access for the anonymous portal user. The IBM® WebSphere® Portal server does not create a portlet session until the subsequent request to the server. To have your IBM WebSphere Portlet Factory models and portlets work, change the public.session parameter in NavigatorService.properties to true. By default, this is set to false.
Note: Enabling this parameter decreases portal performance.
After you change the setting, run WPSconfig.bat with update-properties to update the WebSphere Portal server to the new configuration. This forces WebSphere Portal server to read the changes in the properties.
In general, if a WebSphere Portlet Factory builder relies on user or group information (for example, Cooperative Portlet Source and Cooperative Portlet Target builders), the Web application does not work. For more information about anonymous user operation, see the WebSphere Portal documentation about the public.session property of the NavigatorService.
