Integrated security mechanism

The integrated security mechanism is the default setting when map.apps is delivered. In this mode, only one administrator and one editor user can be defined. To manage multiple users with these roles, link map.apps to a product listed in the overview.

Set default passwords
For security reasons, the parameters security.user.admin.pw and security.user.editor.pw are not preset when map.apps is delivered. To allow login to map.apps, define them.

The following parameters can be changed in the configuration.

security.user.admin.name

Name of the administrator user. Set to admin by default.

security.user.admin.pw

Password of the administrator user. This only applies if the map.apps user administration is used. The password can be configured in plain text or as a hash value (see security.user.pwenc).

security.user.editor.name

Name of the editor user. Set to editor by default.

security.user.editor.pw

Password of the editor user. This only applies if the map.apps user administration is used. The password can be configured in plain text or as a hash value (see security.user.pwenc).

security.user.pwenc

Hash algorithm of the user passwords. By default, passwords are stored in plain text (plain). Available hash algorithms are MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 (recommended).

Make sure that you set the correct value in security.user.use_mapped_pass.
security.user.use_mapped_pass

Set this to false if the administrator and editor user passwords are stored in plain text. If a hash algorithm is used, set to true.
