Delete login portlet how to get it back

If you accidently deleted login portlet from the login page, then you can use xmlaccess to restore it.

Either you can use xmlaccess to export the login page from some other environment and then import it on your server. Or you can use the xmlaccess script in this post to import login portlet.

The way xmlaccess script works is that first you locate the portlet using <web-app action="locate" element. To locate the login portlet you can use the uid for both web application(uid="login.war.webmod"), portlet(uniquename="wps.p.Login"). Portal server reads these values from the web.xml, portlet.xml so unless you went and changed the uid in your login portlet it should not be same on your environment as that used in this post. ONce the login portlet is located <component action="update" element will take care of adding that portlet on the page.
