Issue

  • Is it possible to hide the default /c/portal/login page?
  • We want users to use a specific login page, and prevent them from using /c/portal/login to log into the portal.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.0+

Resolution

  • You can leverage auth.login.url property to achieve this:
  • # Enter a URL that will be used to login portal users whenever needed. By 
    # default, the portal's login page is used. 
    # 
    # Env: LIFERAY_AUTH_PERIOD_LOGIN_PERIOD_URL 
    # 
    #auth.login.url=/web/guest/home
  • For instance, you can configure that property so that it points to a URL where the Sign In widget/portlet is not available (auth.login.url=/web/guest/myhome), so users can't log into the portal.
  • In addition, you will need to offer a new way to log-in. For example, add a Sign In widget to a page (web/guest/myloginpage) and hide that page from your navigation menus if desired.
  • When users try to access /c/portal/login they will be redirected to /web/guest/myhome with no log-in option.
  • Only those who go to web/guest/myloginpage will be able to log into the portal.
