If you're using a DBSecurityManager, you know that it authenticates users against a database. In some cases, you don't have a database, and you must authenticate with a XML file or a third-party product.
If you want to authenticate with a XML file, it's very easy because JVx has a standard implementation for this case. It's very easy to configure a XmlSecurityManager:
Add the following to your config.xml:
<securitymanager> <class>com.sibvisions.rad.server.security.XmlSecurityManager</class> <userfile>users.xml</userfile> </securitymanager>
Your users.xml should be stored in the same directory as your config.xml, or you could define the full qualified path. The user file should contain the list of valid users:
- users.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"> <users> <user name="admin" password="admin"/> <user name="user" password="user"/> </users>
With above configuration, an application user will be authenticated against a XML file.
