The Aspire System Administration user interface can be configured to use security. When configured, whenever a user tries to access the UI via a browser, it will be redirected to a login page. After the session is authenticated successfully, access to all pages can continue as normal.
By default, security is disabled.
Access the settings.xml file in your distribution under the config folder.
1. Add the following element (if not present):
<authentication> <type>None</type> </authentication>
2. Change the authentication type based on your needs. Currently, there are three options:
<!-- System properties --> <properties> <property name="adminPassword">searchtech</property> </properties>
<ldapConfig> <config> <server>ldap://localhost:389</server> <authentication>simple</authentication> <searchBase>dc=localhost, dc=com</searchBase> <group>OU=Users,OU=Group</group> </config> </ldapConfig>
It is recommended that you encrypt the admin password. See Password Encryption for details on how to do that.
