Introduction to My webMethods Server
1. Introduction to My webMethods Server
My webMethods Server is a run‐time container for functions made available by
webMethods components. 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 components, 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:
Administrator Description
My webMethods
Administrator
The default administrator of My webMethods. This
user can perform user management functions and
manage external directory services. As installed, the
user ID is “Administrator” and the password is
“manage.” For more information about functions
available to this user, see “My webMethods
Administrator Functions” on page 51.
System administrator The system administrator for My webMethods Server.
This user can manage My webMethods Server,
including analysis, configuration, content, and user
management. As installed, the user ID is “SysAdmin”
and the password is “manage.” This administrator
does not use the My webMethods user interface. For
more information about functions available to this
account, see “System Administrator Functions” on
page 135.
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.
