Introduction

One the most important component of a Web GIS application is the  GIS Server.
A GIS Server is a software that listens for specific request (by clients). These
requests could be for different services (i.e. OGC compliant) like get Map
request etc. A GIS server loads a dataset (e.g. a shape file or a Geo-Tiff) renders
it, cut image into tiles and sends it back to the requesting client. Every time a
client pans or zooms, GIS server receives requests and sends image tiles as
response.
There are various Open Source options to choose for a GIS Server
(i.e.https://www.gislounge.com/open-source-gis-applications), however this
tutorial will focus on GeoServer (http://geoserver.org/), which is one of the most
commonly used frameworks. GeoServer has an edge over others because of its
administration tool i.e. web based administration interface and its simplicity
deploying a dataset as a WMS, which make it an ideal option for beginners in the
WebGIS industry.
Spatial Information dissemination and integration inside the majority of
information frameworks was cultivated by innovative technological advances. As
of not long ago, spatial data was conveyed by means of paper, settled electronic
media (CD-ROMs or DVDs) or system based electronic media. Today, GIS
services are utilized to transmit spatial data over the web.
The advances in Information and Communication Technologies have changed the
way in which spatial data are distributed. Today, Web GIS is utilized to
disseminate maps over the Internet. Spatial Information tends to be created,
stored and managed by local providers, however it is available to various clients
anyplace and whenever. This approach empowers a client application to get to
spatial data across different networks and sources.
GeoServer publishes data from any major spatial data source using open
standards. GeoServer implements several Open Geospatial Consortium protocols
including Web Map Service (WMS), Web Feature Service (WFS), Web Coverage
Service (WCS) and Web Map Tile Service (WMTS). Additional extensions are
available for Catalogue Service (CSW) and Web Processing Service (WPS).
This web administration interface allows for easy configuration of GeoServer.
After logging in, please use the menus on the left to navigate through the
interface. The About and Status menu lists technical details about the running
GeoServer instance. The Data menu is used to configure data sources and styling.
The Service menu provides configuration for web services. The Settings menu
provides configurations options that apply to all services (i.e. server-wide). The
Tile Caching menu allows configuration of the embedded tile cache.

The Security menu allows configuration of access controls (authentication and
authorization). The Demos menu provides examples of using web services, and
request builders to help you assemble your own examples.
