Chapter 3. Exploring the Administrative Interface

In this hands-on chapter we're going to explore GeoSever 2.2's administrative interface. Big improvements have been made to the interface in the 2.x series. Menu names and icons are consistent across each section. An enhanced interface for the integrated GeoWebCache is available in 2.2; now you can perform almost all caching configurations from the GeoServer interface. Also, the security interface was renewed to keep track of the huge improvements in the GeoServer's security module. The good news is we're going to use the mouse more here than any other chapter, so the keyboard will get a break.

Let's get right to it. Get logged in.
