hi,
i have some question about the portal..., btw it's great donating your work!

What kind of authentification schemas are supported?
Can I handle form-based authentification as described in the servlet-spec?

how, and where do i define the authorization?
How can I map from authentification, to authorization?

Is there some caching for portal parts which are the same for all users?

Can a user change the portal definition, he/she owns?#
