User accounts in Bedework are maintained either
- in the Apache DS ldap directory shipped with the Bedework Quickstart, or
- in your local enterprise directory.
You can perform authentication against either the Apache DS directory, your local directory, CAS, Shibboleth, or other service. If you plan on using a local service for authentication, please see Setting up authentication.
If you plan on using the Apache DS directory shipped with the quickstart, the information below explains how to add and edit user accounts in that system.
Default quickstart users
The quickstart ships with a number of default users and a super user "admin". The default user names and passwords are found on the Quickstart Jump Page, http://localhost:8080/bedework, under each application (or by looking in the quickstart Apache DS directory itself). You can modify, add, and remove users from the Apache DS directory using the information below.
Using the Apache DS ldap directory shipped with the Bedework Quickstart
To add user accounts to the Apache DS ldap directory:
- Open a console window and cd to the quickstart directory.
- Set JAVA_HOME environment variable
- Enter one of the following commands from the quickstart directory:
- Linux: bedework/build/quickstart/linux/adduser userid Firstname Lastname userid@mysite.edu password
- Windows: bedework\build\quickstart\windows\adduser userid Firstname Lastname userid@mysite.edu password
