Integration of SAP NetWeaver PI / XI into SAP NetWeaver Portal Box.

Hello Experts.

We are running on SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1, whenever we want to login to SAP PI /XI we first log into ABAP stack using SAP GUI & then execute T-code SXMB_IFR.the server entries of those are maintained in local host file, only after that a certain java applets gets downloaded to the local machine & we gain access to ESR or Integration Builder.

Instead of doing all these i.e login to ABAP stack first cant this entire login process be integrated into SAP NetWeaver Portal ?

if so kindly let me know.

Best Regards
