Integration Server is shipped in the form of a WAR file. You can install it into an Apache Tomcat container. The storing and sharing functions can be used without any license out of the box. Integration Server is typically deployed and maintained by system administrators. The following part of this document providing information mainly for them.

User management

Integration server contains two default users admin (pw.: admin) for administration purpose and user (pw.: user) for general use. By login with the admin user, user management menu item becomes available. Additional administrator and standard users can be added and existing users can be deleted.
