While doing some R&D I messed up my IBM WebSphere portal Login page. I appended a custom portlet on Login page along with original Login portlet. Now the Login page is not showing up and I am unable to access Administrative tools. I cannot even revert back these changes now. I have tried writing username and password in URL but no success. Is there any other way/workaround to revert back these changes or reset portal server to original form? because last thing I want to do is a re installation. Any help is appreciated.
Edit: I am using IBM WebSphere Portal Server v7
You can export the whole portal with the ExportRelease.xml using the xmlAccess interface.
http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/portalwiki.nsf/dx/P61t4d
After doing the export you have got the whole page_structure.
You have to search for the login page. I think the parameter was named active. Its likely false.
Try active="true". The login page is named wps.Loginor something like that.
After modifying the page structure you can run it as a script with xmlAccess as well.
WebSphere Portal 7.0 doesn't provide with a way to "reset" the Portal Server instance to its original, out-of-the-box state. Unlike WebSphere Application Server, where you can simply delete a profile & recreate a new one, this isn't possible with WebSphere Portal.
Having said that, WebSphere Portal 7.0 has the ability to support multiple profiles: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/portalwiki.nsf/xpDocViewer.xsp?lookupName=IBM+WebSphere+Portal+7+Product+Documentation#action=openDocument&res_title=Supporting_multiple_profiles_wp7&content=pdcontent
So, what you can do is this:
Reinstall WebSphere Portal 7.0.
Take a backup of the WebSphere Portal 7.0 instance, as per the documentation.
When there comes the time to revert to the original, restore from the backup.
That is the only definitive way to reset a WebSphere Portal 7.0 instance... unfortunately.
Get the XML of the page from other portal environment and import it.

Hello I'm having some issues with accessing my wp-admin after migrating a website onto a Chinese server.
I used WP Migrate DB plugin to ensure all mentions of my old domain was replaced with the new domain.
I deactivated plugins, changed the theme, created a new admin user, checked user roles and a few other possible solutions that I can't recall at this time.
Looking for general ideas on how to resolve this that I might not have tried.
Thanks
I encountered a weird scenario. I have created an MVC2 Application and deployed it to IIS7, to 2 web sites (Default Web Site and another manually created "Test Web Site" ... they are using different application pools targeting v2.0). I am using SQL 2008 R2 Filestream feature to store files.
The problem I have is that I have a feature where the user browsing the site can download a document. The document is created in the server and the server then streams that to the client. The problem is, Default Web Site asks for authentication when user tries to download.
This doesn't happen for Test Web Site and it downloads fine.
Now, I do not have a clue what setting I need to change? The only different things I recall is that I manually created Test Web Site compared to just reusing the Default Web Site and also that I allowed inbound connections to Test Web Site (it was on port 8080).
What are the configurations needed to change so that user can download files from Default Web Site without going through authentication?
Try changing authentication settings in IIS Site->Authentication->Anonymous Authentication set to Enable
Turns out it was conflicting with the SQL Server Reports Manager.

I am new to this IBM portal 5.0 personilization.
I have created new theme by copying the already existing theme in IBM Websphere portal 5.0 and named it as Mytheme. And i made this theme as poratl default(This is the mistake i have done). And i verified all pages, that whether all the pages getting reflected. at that time i was able to change the theme default settings to from the existing theme and newly created theme. because i was logged into the portal.
Today i tried to access the portal and it doesn't show me anything in the content area(Portlets are not shown).It is not showing login portlet. so couldn't login as administrator. Not able to change anything..
Could anybody help me to resolve this issue. i have to revert my changes. All configurations are stored in Oracle DB.
Any idea to resolve this issue.
You will need to use xmlAccess to correct your problem. This other question looks offer a solution for you.
WebSphere Portal 6.1 default theme deleted
From my RAD, I start up the websphere portal and remove a portlet ear(the portlet ear has several portlets) that was previously deployed on server. I restart the server.
But when I go on the portal home page and go Administration -->Portlet Management --> Portlets, I still see the old portlets.
How do I remove the old portlets from the portal server configuration?
Go the the Administration --> Portlet Management --> Web Modules.
Check if the application that contains the portlet is still registered. Delete the application the is containing the portlets.
If you don't want to delete the whole application you can click the trash bin in the view you mentioned behind the portlet. I'd however suggest to delete the application.
