Customize common name generation<br />

After installation, it is possible to change the order of common names generated<br />

by WebSphere Portal Server. The default, WebSphere Portal Server generates<br />

common names that consists of the user's first name followed by the last name.<br />

It is possible to change this order by editing the following line in the<br />

was_root\lib\app\config\puma.properties file:<br />

puma.commonname = {0} {1}<br />

where {0} represents the first name and {1} represents the last name. In this<br />

pattern, the numeric values of {0} and {1} represent firstname+" "+lastname. The<br />

user's first name always replaces the {0}, and the last name always replaces {1}.<br />

To generate names that consist of the last name followed by the first name, it is<br />

necessary to change the line to read puma.commonname = {1} {0}.<br />

User and group management<br />

WebSphere Portal Server provides a portlet for managing users and groups. For<br />

details on how to use the portlet, see the portlet online Help files.<br />

Subscriber management<br />

WebSphere Portal Server provides registration and self-care processes for<br />

subscriber management. Registration allows users to register for access to the<br />

portal, and information entered during registration can be modified during<br />

self-care.<br />

Registration<br />

During registration, the user enters mandatory data, such as the user ID and first<br />

and last names. The user optionally selects the preferred language from a list of<br />

available languages. The portal uses this language in all interactions and makes<br />

this information available to all portlets so that they can adapt to the user<br />

preference. The user optionally selects an interest, and this is used by the<br />

WebSphere Portal content publishing sample portlet to customize the displayed<br />

content.<br />

The registration process of Portal Server uses turbine actions to allow the user to<br />

register for access to the portal. The configuration file Puma.properties is used<br />

by the registration process of the Registration Servlet. The key<br />

puma.UserValidator is used to specify the class that checks user information.<br />

The following Java Server Pages (JSPs) are used during the registration<br />

process:<br />

► UserProfileForm.jsp is used to enter or reenter user information such as<br />

personal data.<br />

► UserProfileConf.jsp is used to review user information such as personal data.<br />
