Further setup

Once GeoNetwork is up and running, you have to perform some other steps using the web interface.

Login as admin / admin.

Change the admin pw

Go to “Administration” > “Users and groups” > “Change password”. Change and annotate the new password.

Check the system configuration

Go to “Administration” > “Catalogue settings” > “System configuration”.

Check if the right values are set in these fields:

  • Site name
  • Site organization
  • Host
  • Port (you may want to put 80 here)

You then may want to:

  • Disable Z39.50 server
  • Enable search statistics
  • Enable INSPIRE
  • Enable INSPIRE view
  • Setup the CSW server info

Load the INSPIRE thesauri

Go to “Administration” > “Manage thesauri”.

  • Press “Add”
  • Choose “From remote file (URL)”
  • Select the radio option “from thesaurus repository”,
  • Select the entry “INSPIRE Themes (in all EU languages)”

Repeat, adding the “INSPIRE service taxonomy” as well.
