Open the Portal and Log On

About Opening the Portal and Logging On

To open the SAS Information Delivery Portal, open your Web browser and point it to the portal's URL address. (To obtain the URL, contact your administrator.)
To identify yourself to the portal, you must log on with your user name and password. (If you do not have a user name and password, contact your administrator to obtain them.)
After you log on, you can do the following tasks:
  • personalize your view of the portal by adding pages, portlets, and content items and modifying or rearranging them to meet your unique needs. Each time you log on, your own personalized view of the portal is displayed.
  • search for and view protected content that your user name and password authorize you to access.
  • launch other applications that might be available from the portal, without the need to re-enter your user name and password.
The logon procedure varies depending on how your organization has installed the portal. Use either the Portal Logon procedure or the Web Server Logon procedure, as appropriate.
Note: The portal supports only one user session per browser instance. Different portal users can have different sessions in separate browser instances, but not in separate tabs in the same browser instance.

Portal Logon

Some organizations use the portal's logon feature, as follows:
  1. Open your browser and point to the portal's URL.
    The portal's logon page appears.
  2. On the logon page, enter your User Name and Password. Then click Log On.
    Your personal portal opens.

Web Server Logon

In some organizations, a Web server logon is sufficient to identify yourself to the portal. The Web server logon procedure is different in each organization. After you have logged on to the Web server, just point your browser to the portal's URL. Your personal portal opens.
