  <h2 id="whats-it-for">What's it for?</h2>
86
87
  <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>
94
95
  <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>
