Application portal/central logon website – Created a forms
authenticated website (using the SecureAccess user management component from
portsight.com) to serve as a central user logon to automatically display a list
of websites a user had access based on role; e.g., a user manager role had access
to add/delete/modify users plus modify user website privileges. Developed
re-useable template for new websites to integrate into portal; template
