By default, all users who log in to the OpenText Vibe site are first taken to the What’s New page. However, you can change this default behavior to have all users taken to a different home page of your choosing. This might be a corporate landing page that provides links to important places on the Vibe site.
You can also configure Vibe so that users are taken to their personal workspaces when they first log in to the Vibe site. For information on how to configure Vibe in this way, see Restricting the What’s New Page from Being Displayed When Users First Log In.
Log in to the Vibe site as the Vibe administrator.
Create a landing page on the workspace that you want to set as the new default home page for all registered users.
For example, you might navigate to the Global Workspaces directory and create a landing page on this workspace.
For information on how to create a landing page, see Creating and Managing Landing Pages
in the OpenText Vibe 4.0.8 Advanced User Guide.
Set the access control for the workspace to allow all users to be visitors to the workspace, if it is not set already:
Click the Configure icon next to the workspace title, then click Access Control.
In the Inherit role membership section, select no, then click Apply.
In the All Users row, ensure that the box is selected in the Visitor column.
Click Save Changes > Close.
Click your linked name in the upper right corner of the page, then click the Administration Console icon .
Under System, click Default Landing Pages.
In the Select the Folder or Workspace to be the Default Home Page for this Zone field, begin typing the name of the folder or workspace that you want to set as the default home page for all licensed users, then click it when it appears in the drop-down list.
Click OK.
If you want users to be automatically taken to this page before they log in, and if you want people who do not have a user account to have access to the page, see Making the Guest User Default Home Page the Same as the Home Page for Licensed Users.
When you allow people who do not have a user account to access the Vibe site as a guest user, as described in Allowing Guest Access to Your Vibe Site, then by default they are taken to the Guest User workspace when they access Vibe. If you want guest users to be taken to a workspace other than the Guest User workspace, you can set a default home page for guest users that is different from the Guest User workspace. The default home page can be the same default home page that you have set up for your licensed Vibe users, or it can be a different page.
If you have already set up a default home page for your licensed Vibe users, as described in Setting a Default Home Page for All Licensed Vibe Users, you can configure Vibe to allow guest users who access the Vibe site to be taken to the same home page. If you configure Vibe in this way, everyone who accesses the Vibe site is taken directly to the default home page without logging in.
Follow the steps in Setting a Default Home Page for All Licensed Vibe Users.
Navigate to the workspace that you want to set as the default home page for guest users, which is the workspace that you already set as the default home page for licensed Vibe users in Setting a Default Home Page for All Licensed Vibe Users.
Click the Configure icon next to the workspace title, then click Access Control.
The Configure Access Control page is displayed.
Click Add User, start typing Guest in the Add a User field, then click Guest when it appears in the drop-down list.
This adds Guest as a new row in the Access Control table.
