Administrator's Guide  Locate

The BEA AquaLogic Service Registry Administrator's Guide contains necessary information for the management of BEA AquaLogic Service Registry. It is aimed at the user responsible for configuring the registry and managing permissions, approval, and replication. This guide is divided into the following sections:

Registry Management

Registry management includes also management of user accounts and permissions, taxonomy management, and management of the approval process.

Registry Console Configuration

This section covers setting the URLs, directories, contexts, timeouts and limits associated with the BEA AquaLogic Service Registry interface.

Permission Principles

This section discusses the mechanism BEA AquaLogic Service Registry provides for the management of users' rights; permissions allow the administrator to manage or make available different parts of the registry to different users.

Approval Process Principles

This section describes Approval, a process by which control is exercised over the data published to BEA AquaLogic Service Registry.

[Note]Note

Make sure the BEA AquaLogic Service Registry server is running. To start the registry:

From the bin subdirectory of REGISTRY_HOME directory, run:

Windows:serverstart.bat
UNIX:./serverstart.sh

The Registry Console can be found at http://<hostname>:<port>/uddi/web. Hostname and port are defined when BEA AquaLogic Service Registry is installed. The default port is 8080.

Log on as administrator . Initially, the administrator's user name is set to admin and the password to changeit. The first time you log on, use these credentials when you run the registry.

[Note]Note

We strongly advise you to change the password for user admin after first logging onto BEA AquaLogic Service Registry as administrator.

[Important]Important

We strongly recommend to be very careful when editing the Operational business entity, or editing the taxonomy uddi-org:types. Inattentive modifications of these structures may lead to registry instability.
