Interacting with Your Portal 2-5

2.1.5 Changing Your Password

For security purposes, your password is set to expire after a certain number of days, as specified by the OracleAS Single Sign-On Server administrator. As the expiration date of your password approaches, you will be prompted to change it. If you think someone may know your password, change it immediately. If you forget your password, ask the OracleAS Single Sign-On Server administrator to reset it for you. If you do not change your password before its expiration date, you will not be able to log in until the OracleAS Single Sign-On Server administrator resets it for you. To change your password:

1. Click Account Info.

2. In the top right corner of the Edit Account Information page, click Change

Password .

3. In the Old Password field, enter the password that you currently use to log in.

4. In the New Password field, enter your new password. Enter the same password in

the Confirm New Password field to confirm that you entered it correctly.

5. Click OK to return to the Edit Account Information page.

6. Click OK to return to your home page.

The next time you log in, use your new password.

2.1.6 Choosing a Default Page Style

A style controls the colors and fonts used by portal pages. If your page contains an Account Info link you can specify a default page style of your choice. When a page is created, the page designer has the option of imposing a page style or allowing individual users to supply their own. See Section 11.8, Applying a Style. When you display a page that allows for individual page styles, the page style you select through the Account Info link is applied. To change your default page style:

1. Click Account Info.

2. Choose the Default Style from the list.

3. Click OK.

Note: Changing your password here affects all the OracleAS Single Sign-On Server applications you access, not just Oracle Portal. Note: Choose a password that you can remember, but is not obvious to others. There may be restrictions on what you can use as a password. For example, passwords may be restricted to a minimum number of characters or require at least one number. If you are having difficulty changing your password, contact your OracleAS Single Sign-On Server or portal administrator. 2-6 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Portal If you do not specify a default style, the style of your default group is used instead. If you do not have a default group, or the group default style is also not set, the system default style is used. See also Chapter 11, Working with Colors and Fonts.

2.1.7 Viewing Translated Content

If you want to view portal content in a particular language, you must either log in to Oracle Portal in the appropriate language, or change the current language using the Set Language portlet. If your portal contains content that has been translated into the selected language, it is displayed on the page. Any content that is not translated into the chosen language is displayed in the default language this is the language in which the page group was originally created. Searching Translated Content When you search Oracle Portal only one translation of a particular item is returned within search results. You do not see several different translations in the search results, even if they all match the search criteria. Content translated for the current language is returned first, if it exists. If no match is found in the current language, content for the default language may be returned if a match is found.

2.2 Finding Information in Your Portal

This section contains information on how to find information in Oracle Portal. ■ Section 2.2.1, Searching For Content ■ Section 2.2.2, Interpreting Search Results ■ Section 2.2.3, Saving and Reusing Searches

2.2.1 Searching For Content

Oracle Portal provides a basic search facility for performing simple searches and an advanced search option for performing more complex searches. Both can be used to find items, pages, categories, or perspectives in Oracle Portal. For more details, see: ■ Section 2.2.1.1, Performing a Basic Search ■ Section 2.2.1.2, Performing an Advanced Search If you enter a search term and Oracle Text is enabled in your portal, all text attributes associated with the portal content, and the content of documents and URLs are searched. Out-of-the-box, Oracle Text is always enabled. Although we do not recommend that Oracle Text is disabled, it can be disabled by your portal administrator. If your portal administrator has disabled Oracle Text, only the following metadata is searched: item attributes Display Name, Description, Keywords, Author, page attributes Display Name, Description, Keywords, and categoryperspective attributes Display Name, Description. For more detail, see Section A.2.4, Base Searchable Attributes. Note: If you do not see the language you want, contact your portal administrator. The language may need installing, as described in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle Portal.
