Oracleas Portal 10G entry (7)-Management Portal

Introduction

The so-called oracleas portal is perfect. It provides an application framework that supports each layer of the business portal, from Content viewers, content publishers, and application developers to portal administrators.

As the oracleas portal is part of the Oracle Application Server, administrators can also access oracleas services, such as monitoring and configuration tools, one-time logon, directory integration, high-speed cache, and security. Combine all the features required to manage users and user groups, set security and search features, and manage portals and databases into a series of dialog boxes, which can be accessed through the Portlet on the portal page.

Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM)

To provide monitoring and Configuration Services, the oracleas portal seamlessly integrates the Oracle Enterprise Manager (EM) attached to the Oracle Application Server ). With em, you can configure the database access Descriptor (DAD), specify the connection mode between mod_plsql and the database to implement HTTP requests, configure mod_plsql high-speed cache settings, and monitor the components on the oracleas portal, such as Oracle HTTP Server, mod_plsql, parallel page engine, Oracle database, one-time login server, Content Aggregation Server, super search, and your various supply programs. In addition, EM provides a user interface to maintain other related intermediate layer configuration files.

Define User access rules

To manage users, the oracleas portal provides some managers that allow you to create and manage user accounts, user configuration files, and user groups. The oracleas portal also provides a pre-defined permission set to allow users and user groups to access different types of portal objects. The permission set is customized for different object types. For example, a page group has an access permission set, and a page has another permission set.

The authentication is managed through oracleas one-time login server (SSO.

One-time Logon

The main advantage of SSO is that it reduces or eliminates the need for users to log on multiple times when they access multiple applications and data sources through one portal. Certificates are stored in Oracle Internet Directory (OID.

To create a new user, you can access the User Manager in the delegate management service (DAS) of the oId through the user Portlet of the oracleas portal. A user account requires less account information: a user name, an email address, and a password. Account information is stored in the oId. You can also import account information from any LDAP directory to the oId.

Roles and permissions

You can create roles by assigning permissions to different user groups. Roles are used to control the appropriate user groups to access the appropriate oracleas portal function. By default, many user groups are created. Administrators can add users to these user groups at any time.

Unauthorized users can access all objects authorized to public users. Similarly, logged-on users can access objects authorized to the authenticated_users user group. You can grant other portal-level permissions to users and user groups for specific functions.

Oracleas Web Cache

The oracleas portal uses the Web high-speed cache of the Oracle Application Server to improve performance and scalability. This provides two major performance advantages:

• Metadata and content are cached in the memory, which significantly improves the performance compared with file-based high-speed cache.
• Different types of cache are provided, including cache based on timeout, verification, and invalidation.

Export/Import

The export/import feature of the oracleas portal supports the migration of portals and content between the development and production environments. You can use the portal navigator to export page groups or database providers. When you export a page group, all objects in the page group, referenced objects, and shared objects are exported. These objects include pages, categories, views, styles, custom types, web providers, and access control lists (ACLs) associated with the page group ).

Summary

The oracleas portal provides centralized access to all the tools required for your corporate portal management. Through the portal, you can manage users, access the Oracle Internet directory used to create one-time logon, monitor the portal environment, and export/import portal objects from one installation to another (the same version.
