Overview

Apereo uPortal is an open source enterprise portal framework built by and for the higher education community. It aggregates content and self service applications into a personalised dashboard of portlets, tailors what each user sees on the basis of group membership and attributes, integrates with single sign on, and gives administrators a web console for managing tenants, groups, permissions and the portlet registry.

The demo tenant ships intact, so a portlet rich portal and the full administration tools are ready to explore and adapt from the first sign in, with full ownership of the data in your own cloud account.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg delivers uPortal preconfigured on a hardened base: the servlet container and database are bound to the loopback interface behind an nginx reverse proxy, every VM mints a unique administrator password and a unique database password on first boot, the well known demo logins are disabled, and a paired step by step deployment guide covers launch, first sign in and enabling TLS. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.

Common uses

  • Give staff and students a single personalised portal for campus applications, news and services
  • Aggregate self service applications and content behind one single sign on entry point
  • Stand up a customisable, role aware intranet or portal in your own cloud account
