	<h3>Configuring Geoserver</h3>
45
	<p>Metacat ships with <a href="http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOS/Home">Geoserver</a> to handle the spatial functionality.
46
		Regardless of whether you plan on using the spatial functionality you should,
47
		for security purposes, configure geoserver initially so that it doesn't use
48
		the default password.<br><br>
49
		
50
		To configure geoserver with a new admin password:
51
		<ol>
52
			<li> Go to
53
				<a href="../../geoserver.jsp" target="_blank"> Geoserver admin page </a>. </li>
54
			<li> Login using the default username and password ( <em>admin</em> / <em>geoserver</em> ) </li>
55
			<li> Then go to
56
				<a href="../../config/loginEdit.do" target="_blank">Password Change Page </a> and  enter a new user and password then submit. </li>
57
			<li> In the upper-left, click <em>Apply</em> then <em>Save</em> to save your new password.
58
       </ol>
