Configuration

Once Liferay is successfully installed, you can begin configuring it to fit it to your environment and your particular portal project. You can perform many of these configuration tasks through Liferay's portlet-driven user interface.

You will want to customize your portal by configuring various settings for it, such as email notifications, integration with services such as LDAP, creating users, user groups, organizations, and roles, and readying your portal to have its content and applications loaded by your developers. This chapter covers these activities:

• Liferay's User Interface: How to navigate around Liferay and make use of the administrative portlets.

• Liferay Administration: How to administer a Liferay portal.

• Global Portal Settings: Password policies, Settings, Monitoring, and more.
