Basic Authentication

Identity Insight's authentication framework has been standardized to take advantage of the many authentication options provided by WebSphere Liberty. By default, the simplest file-based Basic Authentication is configured.

There are many methods for storing users, groups and passwords. For more detailed descriptions of other authentication options, see the WebSphere Liberty Core documentation for Authentication.

When Identity Insight is installed, a userid and password are selected for the administrator account. By default, this user has access to all of the user interfaces. (Default user name: admin) Other users must be added by the administrator.

The file containing the user information is found at wlp/usr/servers/iiServer/users.xml. You can add, remove and manage users by editing this file.
