Portal Access through Internet

Question

Dear All,
We have a requirement like the following:
We are developing a portal application. We need to access that through Intranet as well as through Internet.
The problem is that, for Internet (logged in as anonymous user), the look and feel and navigation of the pages are very different from that of Intranet, but the content is the same for both Intranet and Internet. Basically, the JSP templates are different for Internet and Intranet.
Do we need to deploy different applications  to make this happen? Can we customize the navigation menu and look and feel diffently for Internet and Intranet from the same application?
Please suggest any ideas if you have.
Kind regards,
Sreejesh.

Hi Sreejesh,
if you have different JSP templates, it's up to you to create different applications (for different users? roles?! how to differentiate?) or to make the usage of the JSPs of the application itself flexible (so that the application decides at runtime which template will be used).
> Can we customize the navigation menu
In general you can customize the look and feel of the portal: System Administration -- Portal Display -- Theme Editor.
If you want to modify more than colors etc, you should consider using the LightFrameworkPage together with a sef-developed DetNav using the Navigation TagLib, see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/42/ea3a29b28e1bcae10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
Hope it helps
