Configuring the Web Publishing Engine for the first time
The first time you use the Administration Console to configure the Web Publishing Engine, you must specify two
sets of user names and passwords:
1 an FMSA Admin Console account (user name and password), which is used to authenticate web users who
attempt to use the Administration Console. This user name and password prevent unauthorized users from
using the Administration Console to take over control of your Web Publishing Engine.
1 a WPE Admin account (user name and password) for the Web Publishing Engine, which is used to authenticate
the Administration Console software component when it accesses the Web Publishing Engine. This user name
and password prevent unauthorized users from installing another copy of the Administration Console and
taking over control of your Web Publishing Engine.
Note The system language of the host computer where you run the Administration Console for the first time sets
the default status area language for Instant Web Publishing and the default text encoding for Custom Web
Publishing with XSLT on the Web Publishing Engine. You can change these default settings for the Web
Publishing Engine by using the Administration Console.
