Unable to view log in page after adding second portlet to page

| Hi,<br />
<br />
Recently, I tried adding a second portlet to my login page, however, now when I go to the wps/portal url, I am unable to log in. In the top right hand corner I see the 'I forgot my password' link and the '?' link. The entire main page is now blank/white.
Is there any way I can fix this?<br />
<br />
Any advice much appreciated as it is rather urgent.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

| well you can use the login url<br />
<a class="jive-link-external" href="http://server:port/wps/portal/cxml/04_SD9ePMtCP1I800I_KydQvyHFUBADPmuQy?userid=userid&password=password">http://server:port/wps/portal/cxml/04_SD9ePM tCP1I800I_KydQvyHFUBADPmuQy?userid=userid&password=password</
a><br />
<br />
to get logged in and then take your portlet off the page, you might want to put it on a page byitself and see if maybe you did not close some tags or something else is preventing it from being visible<br />

| Hi Jim,<br />
<br />
Thanks for the reply. I tried putting in the login URL that you provided, however, the same blank screen is rendered with the 'I forgot my password' link. Any other ideas/thoughts?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />

| This happen to me in the past. I accidently removed the login porlet. I logged in using the method described above and was able to re-add the login portlet.<br />
<br />
Here is hte URL that I used...<br />
<br />
<a class="jive-link-external" href="http://localhost:10038/wps/portal/cxml/04_SD9ePMtCP1I800I_KydQvyHFUBADPmuQy?userid=">http://localhost:10038/wps/portal/c...800I_KydQvyHFUB ADPmuQy?userid=</a><user>&password=<password>

| Hmmm. Still no luck. Is there an alternative way of resolving the issue? Since I added the 2nd portlet to the log in page, is it possible the page itself is corrupted? Is there a way of fixing or resetting the login portlet itself?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

| the URL we gave you will log you in to any protected Portal page and is not related to the login page.<br />
<br />
After you logged in maybe you can fix trhe login page. The URL we gave you should work 1st.<br />
<br />
Maybe the Theme is corrupted.

| Thanks. I thought it might be a problem with the theme. I have a separate QA instance of the theme, so would it cause any problems with I do a copy and paste over the problematic dev theme?

| no but if you do not have reloading enabled, you will have to restart the portal<br />

| Still no joy. Is there a way of resetting the login page to it's original state?
| |
| Jim Barnes 2008-01-02, 1:25 pm |
| Well if you have an xmlacess back up you can use that to reset the page.<br />
<br />
Or you can export the page, and then remove the portlet, and import it back in and see if that resolves it.<br />
<br />
can you post a screen shot of what you are seeing>?<br />

| I have attached a screen shot of the login page. I tried replacing the themes folder, along with restarting the server, to no avail.<br />
<br />
How do I export the login page? Does that require logging in to the portal admin?<br />
<br />
Thanks again for your assistance.

| well there are a couple of things to try.<br />
<br />
This is a 5.1 portal correct?<br />
<br />
if so you can enable screen login, and then login that way by going to wps/myportal and it will take you to the login screen<br />
see this for more information<br />

__login_screens</a><br />
<p />
For using xmlaccess you can do the following<br />
<a class="jive-link-external" href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wpdoc/v510/topic/com.ibm.wp.ent.doc/wps/admxmlai.html">http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoc...pdoc/v510/topic /com.ibm.wp.ent.doc/wps/admxmlai.html</a><br />
<br />
you can do just a full export, or you can export just that page.<br />

| Post a screenshot of how the portal looks like when you log in using the URL above.

| Thanks.

| it seems like that that the URL above is missing a character (there is a space instead of an A after HFUB. Not sure why the paste did not work) and you are not able to login in.<br />
<br />
try this URL....<br />
<br />
