getting started with weblogic portal 11g - weblogic11g

I'm a Vietnamese Developer, and have just getting started with weblogic portal 11g. So, i hope you give me some guide:
I install weblogic portal on my machine, and create a domain. When i started this domain by /startWeblogc, i see a only Admin Console site at localhost:7001/console but not a basic portal site (like MS sharepoint..). Do you thing i miss something or it is the way of weblogic: if i want a portal, i must create one from scratch.
Thanks very much,

Yes, you see only the OOTB admin console.
You have to actually develop your portal using Weblogic Workshop

Tomcat8.0.45 using Java app, SQL server and IIS 8.5 on different server

I am using Tomcat 8.0.45 to deploy java based web application. I am using IIS 8.5 and BonCode connector. The App uses MS SQL db located on different server and IIS on another. Both are not on the same machine.
Issue:
- I followed steps for integratedSecurity=true, then copying sqljdbc_auth.dll in jre/bin.
- I also followed the steps to configure tag inside web.config along with userName (AD user) and password.
- I also mapped the user (AD user ) to SQL server db.
- But still I am not able to make it work. On Tomcat startup, I get error.
"Login failed for User 'MyDomain\ServerName$. ClientConnectionId:3b1161.....'.
My above steps could not wrong or incomplete. I can share logs but the above error is what I get in log file.
Can some one please direct me to any link or provide help here. Please note that mine in java based web app. I found lot of examples but they were all dot net based.
Thanks in advance.

Error configuring the RAD WAS Portal runtime for a new server instance

I have installed IBM Rational Application Developer version 9.1 from the installation media. The media launches and installs the IBM Installation manager and I've selected the RAD 9.1 package for install. Among the options, I've requested that the "WebSphere Application Server v8.5" be installed, as well as the "WebSphere Portal Server v8.5" and all the options underneath.
Once I launch RAD, I go to the server tab (as instructed by the IBM Portal Developer course) and attempt to create a new WebSphere Portal server. The server wizard wants to know where the installation directory of the server runtimes are located for both WAS 8.5 and Portal 8.5.
For WAS this is simple, I point to the profile "AppSrv01" at the following location:
C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\runtimes\base_v85_stub\profiles\AppSrv01
For the Portal Server, I assume there would be a default profile created, but there is not. There are several directories inside the stub directory, but no profiles. The best I can do is provide the following location:
C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\runtimes\portal_v85_stub
Seems straightforward right? It complains of the following problem:
The Portal Server installation directory is not correct
Am I missing something here? Are there fix packs I need? Is the portal server runtime included with RAD 9.1 not enough to create and use a local portal server? DO I need to simply create a profile and if so where is the tool needed to do so? (I really really wish someone from IBM would explain this to me and how I am supposed to be indicated to the correct course of action)
IBM is, as usual, being very straightforward and easy to use/understand. Does anyone have any ideas about how I am supposed to proceed? The IBM Developer course that was bought and paid for assumes this step already and before you suggest it, yes I've already sent and am awaiting a response from the organization I am taking the course from.
Not sure I'm getting your description right. From what I can see, you installed RAD using IM from a media. Also, you selected WebSphere Application Server development tools and all underneath it as well as WebSphere Portal development tools.
These development tools options are stubs only, not the actual servers. With this I mean that they're useful for development and compiling purposes only, but not for deployment and testing because they are not the actual servers.
Here is the part that I don't understand. In the media that has IM and RAD, does it also have WebSphere Application Server and Portal Server available for installation? If not, then you need to get them and install them and then your can create the servers pointing to the install location of both servers in RAD. Once you do this, you can use RAD to create the profiles.
Hope this helps.
A few things, Install portal by itself and DO NOT install to a C:\Program Files make it something short like c:\IBM\WebSphere
it sounds like only portal stub got installed, did you have the portal media available as well.
If you install it using the same installation manager, RAD will be able to find it

how to do data migration from Joomla to WebSphere Portal?

we current having a project that need to use data migration from joomla to WebSphere Portal.. but i can't find any resource on how will I'll do it. Can anyone help me??
https://docs.joomla.org/Planning_for_Migration
i only found this reference but it on how to migrate to another server not into websphere portal
http://pbwebdev.com/blog/migrating-joomla-websites-to-a-new-server
can anyone give me more reference on how to do data migration from Joomla to WebSphere Portal?
If your able to keep the Joomla server around I would use the WAI integration to pretend it's a portlet/page on websphere portal.
Otherwise it could be quite painful to port.

Publish WinForms application on remote server

I want to publish my WinForms Application on remote server to enable web installation for the application.
I need some relevant information how to configure IIS 7.5 web site to enable publishing by VS2012. I've found some links but it mostly about publishing web application and as I could understand the process is different in some points.
Where I could find information for the configuring IIS web site?
Are you referring to a ClickOnce application?
If this is the case, you simply need to have write access to where it is going to be deployed, and users need read access.

Using Active Directory with Microsoft Azure

I'm researching whether or not it makes sense for my company to use Azure for some outward facing applications. We need it to integrate with Active Directory so that it knows who they are without having to login to the site, kind of a single sign-on. Has anyone done anything like this or what tools I'd need to use to do it?
To elaborate a little, currently all of our intranet apps use Window Authentication with AD groups to determine who has what access and what level of access they have to the apps. So, once they log onto their machines, they don't have to login again to access any of our home grown apps. We're looking at using the Cloud but we want to keep the same login paradigm if at all possible. Ideas?
Thanks,
Jeremy
You can federate AD to Azure - you will need at least 1 server (on premise) running Windows Server 2008 R2 to get the ADFS bits (code name was Geneva). Then on the Azure side, you use the Azure App Fabric authentication. See MSDN.
An observation on Pat's answer:
*Then on the Azure side, you use the Azure App Fabric authentication. See MSDN
That is not necessarily correct. In the simplest form, which looks like what Jeremy needs, the web site on Windows Azure would simply trust the local ADFS server on-premises. To do this you would use WIF (Windows Identity Foundation).
This scenario is extensibly described in multiple documents. Check Here
A scenario in which you would use Windows Azure AppFabric (the latest CTP) is one in which the app would trust multiple identities simultaneously, and Appfabric would act as an "Identity Hub".
