opening up portal for external access - weird behaviour
Hi,
Sorry for my lack of knowledge in Portal but when we tested our portal within internal the <hostname>.<domainname>
myhost.mydomain.com everything is ok.
But now we point from enternal DNS www.mydomain.com, it is able to get to the portal, but when login, it points to myhost.mydomain.com and when logout it too points to myhost.mydomain.com. But myhost.mydomain.com is an internal ip thus there will get error.
I believe I need to configure somewhere but can someone tell me which parameter?

Depending on which top level container you specify in your display profile, you can change header.jsp under this container to point the right logout url.
For example, you have JSPTabContainer in your Portal Desktop Default Channel Name. Under /etc/opt/SUNWps/desktop/sampleportal/JSPTabContainer, you can edit header.jsp as below.
<td><a href="<dtpc:getDesktopURL/>?action=logout" onMouseOver="over('banner_logout')" onMouseOut="out('banner_logout')" onClick="closeWindows(); return true;">
change to
<td><a href="http://hostname.domain.com/amserver/UI/Logout?goto=http://hostname.domain .com/portal/dt" onMouseOver="over('banner_logout')" onMouseOut="out('banner_logout')" onClick="closeWindows(); return true;">
<td colspan="3"><a href="<dtpc:getDesktopURL/>?action=logout" onMouseOver="over('banner_logout')" onMouseOut="out('banner_logout')" onClick="closeWindows(); return true;" class="noUnderline">
change to
<td colspan="3"><a href="http://hostname.domain.com/amserver/UI/Logout?goto=http://hostname.domain .com/portal/dt" onMouseOver="over('banner_logout')" onMouseOut="out('banner_logout')" onClick="closeWindows(); return true;" class="noUnderline">
Note: there is no CR/LF in each of line. It is a single line format. This allows you to specify your external url as login page under goto url. HTH, Jerry
