Chapter 3: User Accounts

Portal Interface accounts

Portal Interface users create an 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.

Portal Interface users can change their passwords by selecting the MyInfo tab, and providing the original and new passwords.

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.

To allow Portal Interface users to create personal channels, a property in the global.properties.xml file, alwaysValidateSession, must be set to false. Otherwise, permission is denied and the channel cannot be viewed from M-Business Anywhere or M-Business Client (a mobile device).

See the Portal Interface User’s Guide for information about using the portal. The following procedures are provided as a convenience.
