With AuthenticationFilter you can redirect users to repective pages after login.
Have a look at my article on *[AuthenticationFilter Scenarios and implementation|http://extremeportal.blogspot.com/2009/06/authentication-filter-implementation-in.html]*

hope that helps...

You might not have to write an authentication filter. You might be able to set different default authenticated pages based on group membership. Refer to this technote:

http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=688&ca=portall2&uid=swg21381183

It would depend on how your groups are set up.

This technote
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=688&ca=portall2&uid=swg21381183
will set *default landing page for all authenticated users* and *requirement is about*
*setting separate pages according to the user privileges*.

As i understood from requirement, different authenticated users(groups) will have different landing pages.
If this is the case, then i think Authentication Filter should be right choice to go with.

please correct me if i am wrong..

thanks..

Could you tell me what piece of code in your sample (TestLoginPortlet.java) is deciding factor for landing of different portal pages based on user login?

Whereas the technote explains:

"Assign access rights to NewPage2 appropriately (generally, ensure All Authenticated Portal Users is in the Privileged User role)"

you could just as well assign access rights based on group membership. For example, if your pages' ordinals were ordered from lowest to highest:

Page Group with access
_____________________________

PageC GroupC
PageB GroupB
PageA GroupA
Login Anonymous Portal User

then unauthenticated users would see the login page, users in GroupA would see PageA, users in GroupB would see PageB, and users in GroupC would see PageC. "All Authenticated Portal Users" is just a special group encompassing all users who are logged in. Portal does not require that you use "All Authenticated Portal Users" when assigning access rights. The bottom line is that by default users will see the lowest ordinal page to which they have access. Let me know if you have questions.

The formatting on my last post makes it unclear. What I meant was:

PageC (only GroupC has access)
PageB (only GroupB has access)
PageA (only GroupA has access)
Login (Anonymous Portal User has access)

Hi,
Create the different user-roles as per your requirement and then
create and drop the user as per the user roles and then set the pages
as you want for different set of users.
(USE WPS ADMIN)
