Securing the Default Page

[jatsrt]

Hi,
Is there a way to secure all access to Portal, I want the user to be brought to a login page right away to be authenticated. I cannot seem to get the default page secured.

Try this. In the Administration Portlet, select the default portal and then click on Security. Remove all access rights from the Unchecked role (to unselect an access right, hold the CTRL key while clicking the left mouse button). Now ensure that the User role have view or viewrecursive access. Repeat this for each of the pages in the portal.

How do you customize the login page? (version 2.6)

Is there any way to do this in the default-object.xml it seems that no mater what security constraints I put in there, they do not take hold.

Also, I needed to secure the default portal as well as the default page

Yes, you can set the security in the default-object.xml file, but you will have to do that before you bring the portal up for the first time. Once the portal has been brought up, changing the security in the xml file will not work -- I think you can add new roles and their access modes, but you cannot remove existing roles, and you want to remove the Unchecked role.
