Configuring a file realm
You can manage and authenticate users with the built-in file realm. All the data about the users for the file realm is stored in the users
file. The file is located in SO_PATH_CONF
and is read on startup.
You need to explicitly select the file realm in the snowowl.yml
configuration file in order to use it for authentication.
identity:
providers:
- file:
name: users
In the above configuration the file realm is using the users
file to read your users from. Each row in the file represents a username and password delimited by :
character. The passwords are BCrypt encrypted hashes. The default users
file comes with a default snowowl
user with the default snowowl
password.
Users Command
To simplify file realm configuration, the Snow Owl CLI comes with a command to add a user to the file realm (snowowl users add
). See the command help manual (-h
option) for further details.
Authorization
The file security realm does NOT support the Authorization formats at the moment. If you are interested in configuring role-based access control for your users, it is recommended to switch to the LDAP security realm.
