Note: To use any Sun ONE server instance as the default server instance, select it and click the Default button. (This server instance will then be set as the default target for deploying, undeploying and redeploying an archive or listing deployments. If the user right-clicks on an application and selects Run, the application is deployed on the default server instance and the default server instance is started. If there is no default server instance specified by the user, the first registered server is used as the default server for all purposes.) Similarly, in order to edit or delete a Sun ONE server instance, select it and click Modify or Delete.
Note: The user can modify username and password only.
