At runtime, the identity portlets might also call the ContainerLookup portlet or the ParamLookup portlet depending on user interaction. The ContainerLookup portlet is launched by the identity portlets when the user performs a lookup on a container object, and the ParamLookup portlet is launched when the user performs a lookup on an attribute. Users launch these portlets by clicking the Lookup button. These portlets have a similar runtime appearance.

These portlets are also referred to as object selectors, and their contents are defined by the DNLookup definition in the directory abstraction layer. There are no preferences for these portlets, and you cannot add them to a page. The only time you might modify them is when you allow guest access to the identity portlets. The modifications that you need to make for guest access are described in each identity portlet reference section.
