# Authenticate _any_ user with a single shared password
|
|
|
|
```{warning}
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo 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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo tljh-config set auth.type dummy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo 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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
tljh-config set auth.DummyAuthenticator.password <new-password>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
tljh-config reload
|
|
```
