The siteSecurity.config file

The siteSecurity.config file resides in your {webroot}/siteConfig/  directory and may look somewhat like this in the beginning:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<SiteSecurityConfig xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <Users>
    <User>
      <Name>myaccount</Name>
      <Password>a/somewhat$better!password</Password>
      <Role>admin</Role>
      <Ask>true</Ask>
    </User>
  </Users>
</SiteSecurityConfig>

The use is pretty obvious. Users are defined inside <User> tags where you can set the user’s <Name/> and <Password/>.

Note that that role MUST be set to “admin”.   See Contributor Role for expanded use of the siteSecurity.Config file.
