Adding and Editing Virtual Portals

To add or edit a virtual portal:
1 To add a new virtual portal, in the Main > Portals page, click New Portal, or

In this field...
Do this...
Name
Type a name (unique identifier) for the virtual portal.
Type
Select the virtual portal's type:
• Team Portal (default)
• Reseller Portal
For information on portal types, see Virtual Portals.
This field is read-only, when editing an existing virtual portal.
Catalog Node Server
Select the virtual portal's catalog node server. Catalog node servers are database servers that store metadata. CTERA Portal supports multiple catalog node servers for scalability.
Status
Select the status of the virtual portal to Enabled or Disabled.
If you set the status to disabled, the following things happen:
• Users cannot log in to the portal, and devices cannot connect.
• Reports and email notifications are not sent from the portal.
• User self-registration is disabled.
Global administrators can still connect to disabled portals via the Global Administration View.
Billing ID
Optionally use this field to enter the virtual portal owner's billing ID. This enables integration of the portal with an external billing system.
Enable Resource Provisioning
Deselect this box to allow a reseller unlimited quotas (subject only to the limits of the CTERA Portal license). If you deselect the box, the Provisioning tab disappears.
