Portal for ArcGIS 11.1 Sharing Patch

Note: The Portal for ArcGIS 11.1 Sharing Patch is obsolete and has been replaced by the Portal for ArcGIS Application Display Patch. The patch has been superseded by the Portal for ArcGIS Application Display Patch because the defects resolved in the Portal for ArcGIS 11.1 Sharing Patch are also resolved in the Portal for ArcGIS Application Display Patch. Please refer to the issues addressed on the Portal for ArcGIS Application Display Patch page for details.
