3.Log in with a valid User Name and Password to launch the Portal Server (Figure 1). If your site uses multiple authentication servers, you may need to select a Domain name as well. Contact your system administrator for more information.
4.Depending on how your system is configured, the Portal Server may need to download additional components the first time you access the server. If prompted to download components, you must answer Yes to the security requests.
5.Use the navigation bar at the bottom of the page to access other Portal Server pages. All Portal Server features and functions are briefly described below and explained in detail later in this guide. Remember that depending on your privileges you may not have access to some functions in which case these items are not shown on the navigation bar.
The Logout command logs you out of the application and lets you log back in as a different user. This may be necessary to gain access to certain functionality. For example, some users may not be allowed to create thumbnails and you may want to login as a user who has the permissions to do this. The Logout hyperlink is only shown when Access Control is enabled by an administrator.
Home Page
There is no specific Portal Server "home" page. When started, the Portal Server displays the last page you were on when you logged out or closed the application. For example if you were on the Live Media page when you logged out, that's the page that will be displayed when you log back in. All of the options on the navigation footer are explained below. Remember that not all of these items may be available at your site.
