Overview

Portals can be one of the following types:

•          No Registration (Open)
•          Secure
•          Personalized

Knowledgebase administrators can restrict unauthorized users from accessing the portals by requiring them to login. The No Registration portal type does not require users to submit login credentials (username and password), the other portal types - secure and personalized can be configured such that users have to submit their login credentials in order to access the portal.

The default settings for portal login can be changed as follows:

•  Users can be empowered to reset their password.
• Portal administrators can change the UI elements in the default portal login screen as illustrated in
  Figure -  "Portal Login Screen".
