You will now set up the Administrator account of the application

Define a username and password for the administrator. The password should have a minimum of 6 characters.
The email address will by default be displayed on the homepage and is used for feedback from users. For the stand alone installation the email address is not relevant, just put your own email address

Proceed to the Next page of the installer.

You will now enter details used by GeoNetwork for a database connection. You have the option to install the system with an embedded Database Management System (DBMS) or to use an existing database within the organization.
Currently support for MySQL and Oracle has been provided, but other DBMS's have also been used. The main requirement is for the DBMS to have JDBC driver support. Databases can maunally be configured when needed.
When selecting MySQL or Oracle using the installer, you will need to have that DBMS up and running, have a valid account at hand and have the JDBC driver for the DBMS at hand.

We will now use the embedded DBMS (McKoiDB). Provide a username and password for the database connection and leave the connection URL as is.
