File-Based Authentication
For the file-based authentication, the user details are stored in the hawkconsole-user.cfg
file. By default, the configuration file is located at <CONFIG_HOME>
/bin
. If required, you can configure its location by using the -user_file_store
option in the hawkconsole.cfg
file.
The syntax for a user entry in the hawkconsole-user.cfg
file is:
<user_name>
:<encrypted_password>
For example,
admin:#####***###
You can use the tibhawkpassword
utility at <HAWK_HOME>
/bin
to encrypt the password.
For more details on user authentication properties, see Hawk Console Configuration Options.
