Log In to the Geoportal

Marten Hogeweg edited this page Dec 14, 2012 · 1 revision

Your Geoportal is now up and running. Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080/geoportal to access the geoportal's user interface. You can log in to your geoportal with the gptuser user name and gptuser password that you created in the gpt.xml.

You have logged in successfully when a green banner stating "Welcome gptuser" and the Administration tab appear. Go to http://www.esriurl.com/geoportal for details on how to register resources with your geoportal.

Conclusion

This tutorial walked you through the process of setting up Esri Geoportal Server using open source software (PostgreSQL and Apache Tomcat) on an open source operating system (Linux). For demonstration purposes, simple authentication was used instead of LDAP authentication. The full functionality of user-based roles in Esri Geoportal Server requires an LDAP-enabled directory server. There are several open source directory services that can work with Geoportal Server. To learn more about configuring a directory server and other aspects of installing and using Esri Geoportal Server, see the documentation that is included with the Esri Geoportal Server download.
