Adding the Web Dock portlet to a page

After you have installed your virtual web applications, you can then add the Web Dock portlet to a page to allow users access to the applications.

Complete the following steps to add the Web Dock portlet to a page so that users can access the web application:
  1. If necessary, log on to WebSphere Portal as the administrator using the fully qualified host name.
  2. Navigate to Administration > Manage Pages.
  3. Click Content Root.
  4. Either select an existing page where you want to add the web application or click New Page and create a page for your web application.
  5. After selecting or creating a page, click the Edit page layout icon.
  6. Click Add portlets.
  7. Select the Web Dock portlet and then click OK.
  8. Click the Portlet Menu drop-down arrow and then select Configure. Provide the appropriate URL and host information to associate the Web Dock portlet to the application component.
  9. Click Save.
    Note: The Administrator is required to grant the privileged user role to the users who access the Page that contains the WebDock portlet.
    Important: If there are multiple WebDock portlets on a page, all the users accessing that page must have access to the application. Access is defined on the Basic tab of the Virtual Web Application Manager portlet.
