This section describes how to create, modify, and delete Portal Interface user accounts from the Portal Interface, and how to reset passwords. You can also manage Portal Interface accounts from Mobile Web Studio.
Users create a Portal Interface account when they access the Portal Interface and select Join Now. Once the account is set up, you can manage the account through Mobile Web Studio, and users can manage passwords through the Portal Interface.
Portal Interface users can also request their password be reset, typically if they forget their password. You may want to work out a process for handling these requests. By default, the Portal Interface user’s request is sent from the Portal Interface (Reset Password link) to the e-mail address or addresses listed in the global.properties.xml property, resetPasswordEmail. Once the request is received, use the procedure in “Resetting passwords for user accounts” to reset the password.
When using M-Business Anywhere, you must set the global property alwaysValidateSession to false in the global.properties.xml file, in order for Portal Interface users to create personal channels. Otherwise, permission is denied and the channel cannot be viewed from M-Business Anywhere or M-Business Client on a mobile device.
See the Portal Interface User’s Guide for information about using the portal. The following procedures are provided as a convenience.
