# Global application settings

This first section of the configuration document defines global application-level configuration, including the host and port of the EAC Central Server, the application name and whether or not SSL is to be used when communicating with the Central Server.

In addition, a default working and log directory are specified and a default `lockManager` is specified for use by other elements defined in the document. All elements inherit these settings or override them.
