Figure 1. How Host On-Demand works with Portal Server

1. A user logs into the portal through a browser and is authenticated by a user ID and password.
2. The user's customized set of portlets is downloaded to the user's machine and is displayed in the browser.
3. If the user has configured a Host On-Demand portlet, Host On-Demand starts. This gives the user full Host On-Demand functionality within the portlet window, including being able to start sessions and perform other Host On-Demand tasks.
