The first step is to setup your administration user. The password requires a numerical character and must not be
longer than 8 chars. You'll then need to log in. User 'admin' as the username and the password you've entered.
~~TODO...
At this point, Archiva is fully functional - you can use it with the default repositories and guest user. You might like
to explore the user and administrator guides to find other functionality.
The default configuration for Archiva configures two repositories:
* <<<internal>>> - a repository for containing released artifacts. This is connected by proxy to the central repository, so requests here will
automatically retrieve the remote artifacts.
* <<<snapshots>>> - a repository for storing deployed snapshots. This is not proxied to any remote repositories by default.
In addition, the guest user has read access to these repositories, so you can make anonymous requests to either. To try this out, point a web browser at the following URL:
{{{http://localhost:8080/archiva/repository/internal/junit/junit/3.8.1/junit-3.8.1.jar}}}. Though the artifact is not present locally, you will see in the Archiva logs that it is
downloaded from the central repository, and then handed back to the browser and downloaded from Archiva. Future requests for the artifact will be much faster as they need not be
downloaded from the central repository.
Once this artifact is downloaded, Archiva automatically indexes it, so you can access it's information at the following URL: {{{http://localhost:8080/archiva/browse/junit/junit/3.8.1/}}}.
It will also be available from the search interface.
