About GeoServer

GeoServer publishes data from any major spatial data source using open standards. GeoServer implements several Open Geospatial Consortium protocols including Web Map Service (WMS), Web Feature Service (WFS), Web Coverage Service (WCS) and Web Map Tile Service (WMTS). Additional extensions are available for Catalogue Service (CSW) and Web Processing Service (WPS).

This web administration interface allows for easy configuration of GeoServer. After logging in, please use the menus on the left to navigate through the interface.

• The About and Status menu lists technical details about the running GeoServer instance.
• The Data menu is used to configure data sources and styling.
• The Service menu provides configuration for web services.
• The Settings menu provides configurations options that apply to all services (i.e. server-wide).
• The Tile Caching menu allows configuration of the embedded tile cache.
• The Security menu allows configuration of access controls (authentication and authorization).
• The Demos menu provides examples of using web services, and request builders to help you assemble your own examples.
