Getting started with Portal Manager

After you start the Intrexx Portal Manager, the start screen is displayed.

Connect to your portal

In the login area of the start screen, you will see the three tabs "INTREXXperience" , "Network" and "Local" .

Which of the three login options is right for you depends on how you use the Portal Manager or how Intrexx is implemented on your system.

Option 1 – Local

This login option is right for you if you have installed Intrexx locally (in your) IT infrastructure and if you would like to access your portal with the "Integrated Portal Manager", which is installed with Intrexx.

Connection name

Enter a name for your portal connection here. Choose any name you like. The name is saved and displayed in the login area as a hyperlink under "Last used". For later registrations, you only need to click on the hyperlink displayed.

Server name or IP address

For this type of login, "localhost" is stored. You cannot change this entry.

Port

Enter the port for the portal you want to connect to here.

The port can be determined in the portal properties or in the "portal.cfg" file. You can find it at the following location:

<intrexx-installation-directory>/org/<portal directory>/internal/cfg/portal.cfg

Test

This button allows you to test whether the Portal Manager can connect to the portal.

Connect

You can use this button to connect to the portal.

Option 2 - Network

This login option is the right one for you in the following two cases:

  • The Intrexx Portal Server is installed on a server in your IT infrastructure and you can access it via your network.

  • You use Intrexx as PaaS ("Platform as a Service") and have received the relevant login data from INTREXX GmbH.

    This is a cloud solution. This means that INTREXX GmbH provides you with the infrastructure along with the Intrexx Portal Server.

In both cases, use the Portal Manager to log in.

(The Portal Manager does not require installation. You can download it and start right away. The Portal Manager can connect to different versions of the Intrexx Server. It automatically adapts its own version to the version of the portal server.)
