6.1.2 Configuring the Default Security Provider
The default security provider is a built-in implementation of the InetSoft security model, and does not require any special configuration.
To use the default provider for authentication (i.e., verifying user credentials), select the 'Default' option from the 'Authentication' menu on the 'Security Provider' page. (See Specifying a Security Provider.) User/group authentication information is accessed from the password.xml file.
To use the default provider for authorization (i.e., assigning permissions and access), select the 'Default' option from the 'Authorization' menu on the 'Security Provider' page. (See Specifying a Security Provider.) Authentication information is accessed from the acl.xml file. Roles are stored in the role.xml file.
Note: When using the 'Default Security Provider', the default login/password to the Enterprise Manager is admin/admin.
When you select the default security provider for authorization, you can use the Users tab of Enterprise Manager to create users/groups/roles and associate these with components and objects managed by the server. See the Users, Roles, and Groups and Setting Permissions sections for details on how to set up users/groups/roles and assign permissions.
