Introduction to My webMethods Server
My webMethods Server is a run-time container for functions made available by webMethods applications. The user interface in which you perform these functions is called My webMethods. My webMethods provides a ready-made environment in which users can perform functions on webMethods applications, and administrators can manage access to those functions. In addition, My webMethods Server gives you the capability to develop additional user interface pages, and a broad-based set of administrative tools with which to manage the increased capabilities.
My webMethods Server recognizes two types of administrators, based on the functions they perform:
System administrator - The system administrator for
My webMethods Server. This user can manage
My webMethods Server, including analysis, configuration, content, and user management. The user ID is
SysAdmin and the password is specified during installation. Depending on the options you select during installation,
My webMethods Server might prompt the
SysAdmin user to specify a new password on the first login. This user does not use the
My webMethods user interface.
My webMethods Administrator - The default administrator of
My webMethods. This user can perform user management functions and manage external directory services. The user ID is
Administrator. By default, this user is disabled after installation. The
SysAdmin user must log in and enable the
Administrator account.
In some cases, both types of administrator can perform the same functions, such as performing user management. Where there are differences between the My webMethods and system user interfaces, the procedures describe both.
This guide is organized into multiple parts. The following table lists the major parts of the guide and the activities that each part covers.
