|

|
|
<p>The Metacat Registry provides an easy mechanism to create and
|
| 88 |
|
|
edit simple EML metadata documents, and accounts for your Metacat
|
| 89 |
|
|
users. It is an optional component of Metacat, but is useful when
|
| 90 |
|
|
you need very low barriers to creating simple EML, or have users
|
| 91 |
|
|
unable to use Morpho. The LDAP account management interface is
|
| 92 |
|
|
useful if you are authenticating users against LDAP, and need to
|
| 93 |
|
|
provide a basic mechanism for managing user accounts.</p>

|
<h2 id="installation-instructions">Installation Instructions</h2>
|
| 96 |
|
|
|
| 97 |
|
|
<p>The Registry can be installed on any machine Metacat runs on,
|
| 98 |
|
|
but does require additional legwork to get it installed. It
|
| 99 |
|
|
requires that Metacat is set deployed behind Apache, as our
|
| 100 |
|
|
recommended installation platform, and the instructions assume
|
| 101 |
|
|
Apache is already installed and working correctly.</p>
