The BEA AquaLogic Service Registry Administrator's Guide contains information necessary 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 Configuration  How to configure the Registry Console.

Business Service Console Configuration  How to configure the Business Service Console.

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

Permissions: 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.

PStore Tool  Describes a tool for management of protected stores for certificates and security identities.

	Note
	Make sure BEA AquaLogic Service Registry is running before attempting to use its consoles for configuration. To start it change to the bin subdirectory of REGISTRY_HOME and run: Windows: serverstart.bat UNIX: ./serverstart.sh

The Registry Console can be found at http://<hostname>:<port>/uddi/web and the Business Service Console can be found at http://<hostname>:<port>/uddi/bsc/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.

	Note
	We strongly advise you to change the password for user admin once you have logged in.

	Important
	Be very careful when editing the Operational business entity, or editing the taxonomy uddi-org:types. Modification of these structures can lead to registry instability.
