iPanel & Detailed Navigation

Hi,

We're using Portals 5.0 SP 5.

We currently do not use unification server for R/3 to incorporate in iPanel. Not interested in D&R.

Currently I'm using the Detailed Navigation in the iPanel as an external service and not as an iView.

Does anyone know on how to automatically open the Detailed Navigation on login ? Like the iPanel can be automatically opened via changing the "multiplexer.dat" file.

Also, has anyone used the iPanel without using the "Unification server" to incorporate R/3 roles.

Appreciate your input.

Regards,

Sachin Sethi
