Situation

Some user's are getting an error when accessing the netstorage portlet.
Error: "Rendering portlet in doView"
There are specific steps in setting up the NetStorage Portlet. They are the same for both exteNd Director and
the IDM 3.x User Application. Please follow the steps carefully.
One particular step that is often overlooked is that this portlet Requires cookies to be set..
If cookies are enabled, and you have followed the NetStorage setup steps, then is it possible
that cookies are NOT enabled on your NetStorage Server

Resolution

To correct this problem:
Check your NetStorage Server preferences and set the "Cookieless" option to"0" on Netstorage servers.
Save your preferences.
Retest your application.
