Alternatively, you can change the Geoserver username and password manually by |
| 302 | 306 |
directly logging in to the Geoserver. To configure the credentials manually: |
| 303 | 307 |
|
| 304 |
1. Go to the Geoserver admin page: http://<your_context_url>/geoserver.jsp.
|
|
| 308 |
1. Go to the Geoserver admin page: http://<your_context_url>/geoserver/
|
|
| 305 | 309 |
2. Log in using the default username and password ( admin / geoserver ) |
| 306 | 310 |
3. Navigate to the Password Change Page. Enter a new user and password and click Submit. |
| 307 | 311 |
4. Click Apply then Save to save your new password. |
| 308 |
|
|
| 309 |
Note that once you change the Geoserver credentials manually, you cannot use |
|
| 310 |
the Metacat configuration tool to change it again (until a new Metacat |
|
| 311 |
upgrade or installation). |
|
| 312 | 312 |
|
| 313 | 313 |
Metacat comes bundled with a Web Mapping Service called Geoserver, which |
| 314 | 314 |
converts spatial data into Web-deliverable map images. Geoserver installs with |
| 315 |
a default administrative username and password. We highly recommend that you |
|
| 316 |
change the default log-in information so that only local administrators can make
|
|
| 317 |
changes to your Geoserver. For more information about Geoserver, |
|
| 315 |
a default administrative username and password. *We highly recommend that you
|
|
| 316 |
change the default credentials so that only local administrators can make
|
|
| 317 |
changes to your Geoserver.* For more information about Geoserver,
|
|
| 318 | 318 |
see :doc:`geoserver`. |
| 319 | 319 |
|
| 320 | 320 |
When you choose the Geoserver Configuration link from the main configuration |
| 321 |
screen, Metacat will prompt you for a new user name and password. After you |
|
| 322 |
enter the new credentials, the Metacat server contacts the embedded Geoserver s |
|
| 323 |
erver and updates the log-in settings. |
|
| 321 |
screen, Metacat will prompt you for a few important details about your Geoserver |
|
| 322 |
installation. The data directory and context settings allow Geoserver and |
|
| 323 |
Metacat to share the same spatial data store and render maps within Metacat skins. |
|
| 324 |
The security configuration prompts for a new admin password. After you enter |
|
| 325 |
the new settings, Metacat writes the information to the Geoserver deployment. |
|
| 324 | 326 |
|
| 325 |
If you wish to reset the Geoserver credentials at another time, click the |
|
| 326 |
Bypass button. The Geoserver will remain configured with the default user name |
|
| 327 |
and password, and the main configuration screen will display the "bypassed" |
|
| 328 |
status beside the Geoserver settings. You will be able to run Metacat, just as |
|
| 329 |
if the settings were configured. |
|
| 327 |
The default settings are typically appropriate for most Metacat deployments, |
|
| 328 |
but if you wish to skip the Geoserver configuration, click the Bypass button. |
|
| 329 |
Geoserver (if deployed) will remain with a default configuration and the main |
|
| 330 |
Metacat configuration screen will display the "bypassed" status beside the |
|
| 331 |
Geoserver settings. You will be able to run Metacat, but maps will not be |
|
| 332 |
rendered. |

Where ``<CONTEXT_DIR>`` is the directory in which the Metacat application code |
| 359 |
lives (e.g., ``/usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/knb``). The path is a combination
|
|
| 360 |
of the Web application directory (e.g., ``/usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/``) and
|
|
| 362 |
lives (e.g., ``/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/knb``). The path is a combination
|
|
| 363 |
of the Web application directory (e.g., ``/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/``) and
|
|
| 361 | 364 |
the Metacat context directory (e.g., ``knb``). Both values depend upon how your |
| 362 | 365 |
system was set up during installation. |
