Accessing portal pagegroup pages without need to SSO login to the portal.

Question

how do I make an entire page group publicly accessible so that all users who try to access the portal page do not need to SSO login to view the page.
I changed for the page as PUBLIC and given view privileges..however the portlets do not show up...can anyone tell an easy way to make a created pagegroup publicly accessible.
It would be good if someone can elaborate on how ppl usually build a pagegroup which is publicly accessible without logging into oracle portal.
Thanks,
Prasanth.

Hey Christian -- I think you left off one piece. He mentioned that the portlets are not showing up. Barring anything like external applications, it could be that the portlets are inheriting from their provider and the provider is not set to be public.
Prasanth: To check/change this, go to Navigator and the Providers tab. Then drill down to the provider where your portlets are. Click Grant Access on the provider level or drill down to the individual portlet depending on how your portlets are setup.
If you grant public access on the provider level, everything under that provider will be publicly accessible unless you set them otherwise. To grant public access to a provider, add the user PUBLIC and give them execute rights. To grant public access to an individual portlet, drill to that portlet and click grant access. Clear the check mark that says Inherit Privileges from Portal DB Provider and grant the user PUBLIC execute access to that portlet.
