Sean Megeath:
It looks as though the Terms of Use blocks any access to the
Product Menu. I'd like to provide the ability for a user to log
themselves out, instead of agreeing to our terms of use. Is
there an easy configuration way to do this? My searches haven't
gotten me anything.
Theoretically speaking, you can grant access to the product menu
portlet via a portal property, and a user who hasn't agreed to the
terms of use can render it if they hand-craft the URL.
portlet.interrupted.request.whitelist=\
com_liferay_product_navigation_product_menu_web_portlet_ProductMenuPortlet
Practically speaking, having the portlet be whitelisted and having
the terms of use page actually show it are completely separate things,
because FTL_liferay.ftl
still checks if you have agreed to the terms of use before it even
renders anything (it's one of the conditions for isSetupComplete).
In other words, even with the whitelist, you'd still need a
customization that either tells Liferay user setup is complete without
terms of use, or changes the "I Disagree" button to just
sign out the user.
We opened LPS-84177 to
ask the product team to think about this scenario a little more
carefully, because people can decline terms of use agreements,
especially with the added transparency required of GDPR. Nothing has
happened from that feature request, though.
