I saw a very nice post on the IT-Eye blog tonight titled "How to prevent Oracle Portal edit mode" which describes how its possible in most Portal implementations if they have not been secured to access the edit mode. This is a security problem for Portal. The post goes on to show to mod_rewrite rules to block any URL with &_mode=16 added to it and even how to redirect to an error page. Nice post and info.
