Configuring Sign-In

By default, Liferay DXP uses the Sign In widget to authenticate users.

Note

The Sign In widget appears on the default home page at http[s]://[server-name:port]/web/guest/home. If the Sign In widget is unavailable on any page, it can be accessed directly via its URL: http[s]://[server-name:port]/c/portal/login.

The default Liferay home page.

You can configure other methods of authenticating users and/or applications:

Authentication Verifiers can manage authentication for remote applications, and Authentication Pipelines define the ways users are validated by one or several systems.

Sign In Widget Configuration

  1. Open the page that contains the sign in widget in edit mode and click Options (Widget Options icon) in the widget header → Configuration.

    Note

    Before Liferay DXP 2025.Q1/Portal GA132, the Configuration option appeared in the widget’s top-right corner.

  2. You can configure several options here.

    • Authentication Type: See Authentication Types for more information.
    • Email From: Set the name and email address for the sender of system-generated emails (includes the password reset notification email).
    • Password Reset Notification: Set the subject and contents of the password reset notification email.
  3. Click Save to apply a new configuration.

Note

Starting from Liferay DXP 2024.Q3/Portal GA125, the Email From and Password Reset Notification settings were removed from the sign in widget through a beta feature flag. They are now available at the instance level. To access these settings, open the Global Menu (Global Menu) and go to Control PanelInstance SettingsEmail. You can find the Email Sender and Password Reset Notification settings here.
