The first time you go to Metacat after installation or upgrade, you will be directed to
|
| 77 |
|
|
a series of configuration screens. You can also get there explicitly even after Metacat
|
| 78 |
|
|
is configured by typing:
|
| 79 |
|
|
|
| 80 |
|
|
<pre>
|
| 81 |
|
|
http://<yourserver.yourdomain.com>/<yourcontext>/admin
|
| 82 |
|
|
</pre>
|
| 83 |
|
|
or if you are not running apache:
|
| 84 |
|
|
<pre>
|
| 85 |
|
|
http://<yourserver.yourdomain.com>:8080/<yourcontext>/admin
|
| 86 |
|
|
</pre>
|
| 87 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 88 |
|
|
|
| 89 |
|
|
<p>
|
| 90 |
|
|
The system will follow these rules in order to determine the order
|
| 91 |
|
|
that the configuration will occur:
|
| 92 |
|
|
</p>
|
| 93 |
|
|
|
| 94 |
|
|
<ul>
|
| 95 |
|
|
<li>
|
| 96 |
|
|
Is LDAP Configured? If not, show
|
| 97 |
|
|
<a HREF="metacatconfigure.html#ldap-config">LDAP Configuration Section</a>.
|
| 98 |
|
|
You will need to have LDAP configured in order to define administrative accounts
|
| 99 |
|
|
and authenticate as one of these users via LDAP.
|
| 100 |
|
|
</li>
|
| 101 |
|
|
<li>
|
| 102 |
|
|
Are you logged in as an administrative user? If not, show
|
| 103 |
|
|
<a HREF="metacatconfigure.html#admin-login">Administrator Login Page</a>.
|
| 104 |
|
|
You can only configure Metacat as an administrator.
|
| 105 |
|
|
</li>
|
| 106 |
|
|
<li>
|
| 107 |
|
|
Are main properties, skins or database unconfigured. If so, show
|
| 108 |
|
|
<a HREF="metacatconfigure.html#main-config">Main Configuration Page</a>
|
| 109 |
|
|
<ul>
|
| 110 |
|
|
<li>
|
| 111 |
|
|
Note that you will not be able to select the database configuration utility
|
| 112 |
|
|
until main properties have been configured.
|
| 113 |
|
|
</li>
|
| 114 |
|
|
</ul>
|
| 115 |
|
|
<li>
|
| 116 |
|
|
Are all sections configured. If so, show
|
| 117 |
|
|
<a HREF="metacatconfigure.html#main-config">Main Configuration Page</a> but
|
| 118 |
|
|
Include instructions for restarting Metacat server.
|
| 119 |
|
|
</li>
