|
=====================================================
|
|
Authenticate *any* user with a single shared password
|
|
=====================================================
|
|
|
|
The **Dummy Authenticator** lets *any* user log in with the given password.
|
|
This authenticator is **extremely insecure**, so do not use it if you can
|
|
avoid it.
|
|
|
|
Enabling the authenticator
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
1. Always use DummyAuthenticator with a password. You can communicate this
|
|
password to all your users via an out of band mechanism (like writing on
|
|
a whiteboard). Once you have selected a password, configure TLJH to use
|
|
the password by executing the following from an admin console.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo -E tljh-config set auth.DummyAuthenticator.password <password>
|
|
|
|
Remember to replace ``<password>`` with the password you choose.
|
|
|
|
2. Enable the authenticator and reload config to apply configuration:
|
|
|
|
sudo -E tljh-config set auth.type dummyauthenticator.DummyAuthenticator
|
|
sudo -E tljh-config reload
|
|
|
|
Users who are currently logged in will continue to be logged in. When they
|
|
log out and try to log back in, they will be asked to provide a username and
|
|
password.
|
|
|
|
Changing the password
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
The password used by DummyAuthenticator can be changed with the following
|
|
commands:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
tljh-config set auth.DummyAuthenticator.password <new-password>
|
|
tljh-config reload |
