What is this seminar?

This seminar is a basic hands-on introduction to uPortal. In this session, participants complete activities including: build uPortal from source, deploy it into a Tomcat, configure its embedded CAS server, and publish a channel.

This seminar focuses on the newly released uPortal 3.0.0 GA as the basis for its hands on exercises. Conference participants considering attending this seminar should bear in mind that there is significant crossover of concepts and uPortal modules between uPortal 2.6 and the uPortal 3 release evolved from uPortal 2.6, and so this seminar will be appropriate for persons looking to deploy, configure, and customize either uPortal 2.6 or uPortal 3.
