Where is the default user template defined?

Upon installation, your portal is configured to reference your designated user template attribute field within your LDAP to "know" which layout a particular user should see. If a user logs in and does not have a valid value in that field, s/he will get the default user template layout. The default user template is defined in portal.properties, in the following property:

org.jasig.portal.services.Authentication.defaultTemplateUserName=demo

"Demo" is the default value for this property, but you may have designated a different default template user during your deployment. In either case, you can reference this property to see what your setting is, and to change it if desired. To change, simple replace "demo" with the name of the desired template.

Please note that you will need to restart Tomcat after you make this change.

Additional information on Template Users is provided in the Academus 2.0 Portal Manager Guide included in your Client Handbook.  Or to download a copy of the guide, click the link below.
