          yes i got solution...

          The Portal Portlet Packaging Tool adds a security filter to a  portlet application’s web.xml file. This filter allows direct requests  to static files, such as images, but it blocks all requests to servlets  and JSPs that are not proxied through Portal, thereby ensuring that the  Portal authentication and authorization mechanisms protect all  application resources. As a result, a Portal user is forbidden to access  a portlet application directly. Hwoever, we need to make direct  requests to the FileExplorerServlet. To enable access we will remove the  Portal security filter (named PortletApplicationSecurityFilter) and the  mapping. Delete or comment the following lines:

          1.<filter>
          2.     <filter-name>PortletApplicationSecurityFilter</filter-name>
          3.     <filter-class>com.vignette.portal.portlet.jsrcontainer.PortletApplicationSecurityFilter</filter-class>
          4.</filter>
          5.<filter-mapping>
          6.     <filter-name>PortletApplicationSecurityFilter</filter-name>
          7.    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
          8.</filter-mapping>

          Once you complete the deployment, start the VAP server. Login to  the Server console (http://localhost:8080/portal/console). 
          Thanks & Regards
