URLGeneration - anonymous user access to a protected page
|

| I have a portlet showing a list of portal pages (using portal JSP tags
- URLGeneration).
If portal pages are profiled, anonymous user cannot see links, but just
the list of pages. We want make the anonymous user able to see pages
links, and when he click to links, the portal response should be the
login portlet before to reach the protected page.
Can we use a credential vault in the portlet to show links?
And, if yes, is this the best solution?

| Maybe Virtual Portals would be good for this. you can make a Virtual Portal that is a duplicate of your protected portal (except no content). Then make the links that can be clicked on in the VP point to your protected portal that has the content. the
user then would be directed to the login page if they are not authenticated already.

| Another idea would be to create all of your pages at the same level as "My Portal" (in other words, outside the context of your portal). This will make it so the URLGeneration tag will not work and your theme will not have the page links in them. Then y
ou create a theme that you manually maintain all of the links for your pages that were created at the "My Portal" level. For each page you created, make a Portal Unique URL and that is the URL you use as the links in your theme. Then when the user click
s that... if they are not logged in... they will be prompted for authentication.
