     6 Site Manager guide

     7 ==================

     8 

     9 

    10 PyAMS admin site (called also **ZMI**, in memory of old **\Z**\ope **\M**\anagement **\I**\nterface) is based on the ZODB.

    11 

    12 When the PyAMS is initialized, it create and register several utilities into the *local registry* and saved into ZODB.

    13 These utilities are created with default values which can be modified through **management interface** when

    14 the application is started by default (http://localhost:6543/admin).

    17 Local registry utilities

    19 

    20 One of PyAMS pre-requisites is to use the ZODB, at least to store the site root application,

    21 it's configuration and a set of local utilities.

    22 

    23 Some important utilities include:

    24 

    25 **Catalog**:

    26     The catalog has the responsibility to index every content properties which are required to make quick

    27     and efficient searches. Catalog indexes are automatically created on database upgrade; management interface

    28     allows administrator to get indexes properties, to get the number of indexed objects and values for a given index, and

    29     to delete an index before recreating it by running the database upgrade script another time (see :ref:`scripts`).

    30 

    31 **Internal IDs** utility:

    32     The catalog object doesn't store direct references to objects, but their internal IDs which are generated by this

    33     utility.

    34 

    35 **Language negotiator**:

    36     As a web site or application can be localized, this utility allows you to define priorities between language

    37     definition options (between *user session*, *browser* end *server*), and to define which languages are available

    38     to your users (which is particularly important when managing potentially multi-lingual contents).

    39 

    40     .. tip::

    41         Static texts like those displayed into PyAMS management interface are always translated to the language defined

    42         into browser language, if available.

    43 

    44 **Portal templates** container:

    45     Portal templates are used to define *presentation templates* based on *portlets* (see :ref:`pyams_portal`). You can

    46     create *local* templates, or create *shared templates* into this utility which can then be reused into several

    47     places in your web site.

    48 

    49 **Security manager**:

    50     This utility is used to define authentication sources which will be available to authenticate your users.

    51     :ref:`pyams_security` package provides several authentication modules (like local users, or via OAuth/OAuth2

    52     providers); :ref:`pyams_ldap` add authentication plug-in via an LDAP directory.

    53 

    54 **Sequential IDs** utility:

    55     This utility is used to assign simple sequential IDs to site contents (like sites, news, topics and more); these

    56     IDs are simple to identify a given content; several versions of a given content handle by workflow share the same

    57     sequential ID.

    58 

    59 **Server timezone** utility:

    60     Define the timezone server to display date and time accordingly.

    61 

    62 **User profiles** container:

    63     This utility is used to store information associated to principals through their user profile.

    64 

    65 

    66 Optional utilities can also include:

    67 

    68 **Elasticearch content indexer**:

    69 

    70 Verifier la connection entre le server ElasticSearch et la l'application PyAMS

    71 

    72 **Maps manager**:

    73 Systeme de cartografie, avec OpenStreeMaps, WMS, GeoPortable, ESRI ou encore Google Maps

    74 permet de créer des zones catographique²
