Monitoring Portal Server

Portal Usage Information

Portal Server does not include a built-in reporting mechanism to monitor portal usage information by portal users. This includes which channels are accessed, how long the channels are accessed, and the ability to build a user behavioral pattern of the portal. However, you can build a Java servlet that would intercept every Portal Server Desktop request, extract the SSO token, save the user access information to a log, then redirect the user to the intended URL. Such a construct would be based on custom attribute extensions to the Access Manager schema.
