All of the operations provided by the Approval service have an input parameter called locationCentraSite. This parameter identifies the address of the CentraSite registry/repository whose approval log is to be queried. A client application must specify the locationCentraSite parameter if the registry/repository is running anywhere other than its default location (that is, port 53307 on the machine where the Approval service is running).

If the registry/repository is running at its default location, a client is not required to specify the locationCentraSite parameter.
