FileUserGroupProvider

The default UserGroupProvider is the FileUserGroupProvider, however, you can develop additional UserGroupProviders as extensions. The FileUserGroupProvider has the following properties:

  • Users File - The file where the FileUserGroupProvider stores users and groups. By default, the users.xml in the conf directory is chosen.

  • Legacy Authorized Users File - The full path to an existing authorized-users.xml that will be automatically be used to load the users and groups into the Users File.

  • Initial User Identity - The identity of a users and systems to seed the Users File. The name of each property must be unique, for example: "Initial User Identity A", "Initial User Identity B", "Initial User Identity C" or "Initial User Identity 1", "Initial User Identity 2", "Initial User Identity 3"
