Providing access to the web portal

Note: A custom web portal splash screen can be displayed by placing it in webserver\VAADIN\cleo\images\custom under the Cleo Harmony, Cleo VLTrader, or Cleo LexiCom home directory. The filename must start with “splash.” (the word splash followed by a period). Supported formats include JPEG, GIF, and PNG. The image can be no larger than 525X340 pixels and no smaller than 250X100 pixels.

Before your trading partners can access the web portal, you must first establish a mailbox for each partner under the local HTTP users (see Local HTTP Users Configuration), and provide your partners with the proper URL (for example, http(s)://VesraLexComputerIP:http(s)Port/VLPortalResourcePath). Once these steps are followed, your trading partners can access the web portal by entering the specified URL into their browser. They will be prompted for a login.
The User name and Password are those that were established within the trading partner's mailbox under the local HTTP user.
To change a password, click Options.
A password can be changed if:
- the username's mailbox is not defined as an LDAP Usergroup and/or the username’s password has expired or
- the username's mailbox is defined as an LDAP Usergroup, the LDAP Server Directory Type is "Active Directory," the LDAP Server Security Mode is not set to "None," and the user's password has not already expired.
The user can choose from the list of available languages from the Language drop-down list and view the web portal in their preferred language based on the resource files that have been configured and imported into the Cleo Harmony, Cleo VLTrader, or Cleo LexiCom application (see Internationalizing Your Portal).
If the option to select a custom link was configured in the VLPortal tab, a link will be included on the login page. (See Configuring VLPortal Web Browser service.) The text describing this link can be customized by editing the VLPortalUI.CustomLink property in the language-specific VLPortal.properties file(s) stored in webserver\VLPortal\internationalization under the Cleo Harmony, Cleo VLTrader, or Cleo LexiCom home directory.
If reCAPTCHA authentication was enabled on the VLPortal tab, a dialog similar to the one shown below will also be displayed when the number of configured failed login attempts has been exceeded, or the number of failed login attempts was set to zero. See Configuring VLPortal Web Browser service.
After successfully logging in, the trading partner will be presented with the web portal home page in his desired language. The web portal associated with the user login is specified on the Local HTTP User Host: Host HTTP tab. See Configuring access for HTTP host users. The navigation within this portal is determined by the setup you established under the VLPortal tab. To understand the default (as-shipped) web portal configuration, see Configuring VLPortal Web Browser service.
