How to deny user access to default portal
Hi,
We have a requirement which want user open a specific assignment from an URL without login screen and do not showing operator default portal.
I have configurated a custom Authenditication Service and mapped it to the web.xml, let's say "ServletCustom". Also created an Activity to handle open assignment and use URLMapping rule to map it . Now user can open the specific assignment directly by clicking the URL like below
http://IPADDEREE:PORT/prweb/ServletCustom/MyActivityURLMapping
However, the problem is if user request the servlet directly http://IPADDEREE:PORT/prweb/ServletCustom/, he/she can open the default portal of his/her accessgroup.
We need to avoid this behavior, could anyone tell us how to do it?
Thanks

I found that it is ok to delete all portals from AccessGroup setting, so users have no portal to access, but is it the best practice?
Can users execute unexpected activities by requesting URL directly if they have the privilege? Should we deny all unallowed access by setting access control(ARO and Access Deny)?

Hi,
If you are requirement is to avoid unauthorized access rather than hiding portal UI, then you should use RARO and RADOs to set appropriate access control.

Hi Shubu,
I tried deleting all the portals from AccessGroup setting and Pega didn't gave any guardrail warning, so i think it is ok to delete the portals from Access Group.

Hi,
We have similar requirement wherein we have mashed up a work list and new case creation in a web application and we also want to restrict access to the portal by directly accessing /prweb url. If I remove all portals from access group it works as intended but all the styling is lost as it does not apply skin from application rule.
Anyone has any idea on how to make it apply styling from Application rule.
PS - The portal which I removed also uses application skin.
Thank you.
