Chapter 4: Building Portlets

Creating secure portlets

StepsAdding a secure portlet

  1. Select Build | Portlets from the Web Studio left pane.

  2. Right-click in the Portlet Manager detail view, and select New Secure Portlet to invoke the Secure Portlet Builder.

  3. Click the Add icon down arrow and select Web Element.

  4. When the New Web Element window appears, enter the URL for a secure Web site (for example, https://www.delta.com), then click Next.

  5. Continue with the usual creation of the Web portlet, as described in “Creating an aggregated portlet” on page 22.

NoteUnlike other portlets, when you save a secure portlet, it does not automatically appear in the Portlet Manager detail view when you select the New status due to protocol restraints. To view the portlet in the detail view, select a different status, then reselect New. The new secure portlet listing should be visible now.

If you try to share a page with secure content in Portal Interface, you see a message similar to this:

To protect your personal information, Enterprise Portal allows you to only send pages that do not contain secure portlets. Please share one of your other pages, or remove any secure portlets from this page and try "Share Page" again.

Secure content portlets cannot be shared in Portal Interface.

NoteSybase recommends that you do not mix insecure and secure portlets on the same page.
