Configuring internal authentication

The service also supports an internal authentication mechanism. In this case, the users, passwords, and roles are defined in the file config/user_settings.xml.

If you want to enable this type of authentication, you just have to copy the example users. The default password of the given admin user is "admin".

Alternatively, you can set the password in plain text. Whenever a user changes the password, the hash value of the password is stored.

<!-- 
<user   userId   = "admin"
        name     = "admin"
        password = "encoded-password"> 
    <hasRoles>*</hasRoles>
    <isMemberOf>*</isMemberOf>
</user>
-->
