Currently (v2.x) Alfresco does not really provide portal functionality, beyond the configurability of the Web Client UI itself (which is quite customisable, but not to the same degree as a true portal). v3.0 will include a new UI that is more portal-like in its capabilities, but we will continue to support integrations with other portal servers as well.

Hi there,
if you need a portal for your users, you might want to look at the combination of Liveray and Alfresco. In some showcase of my company, we use alfresco as DMS and repository and use following functions from liveray
* openID
* Portal function
* Wiki functions
* CMS (Alfresco WCM was not "stable" then), but if Alfresco is not enough here, integrating a "true at the heart CMS" should be quite possible as well. (Sorry - Alfresco - thats not you yet, but I dont give up my hope for you guys 😉 )
