#### System Administrator

The system administrator is responsible for:

- Configuring message security providers on the Application Server.

- Managing user databases.

- Managing keystore and truststore files.

- Configuring a Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) provider if using encryption and running a version of the Java SDK prior to version 1.5.0.

- Installing the samples server. This is only done if the `xms` sample application will be used to demonstrate the use of message layer web services security.

A system administrator uses the Admin Console to manage server security settings and uses a command line tool to manage certificate databases. In Platform Edition, certificates and private keys are stored in key stores and are managed with `keytool`. Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition store certificates and private keys in an NSS database, where they are managed using `certutil`. This document is intended primarily for system administrators. For an overview of message security tasks, see Configuring the Application Server for Message Security.
