Use the default MashZone NextGen user repository

MashZone NextGen authenticates users against a repository and retrieve authorization from the repository. This can be either a database or an LDAP Directory.

MashZone NextGen is installed with a default user repository within the MashZone NextGen Repository. You can use this initially as you explore MashZone NextGen or keep as the permanent source for user information, if desired. The default user repository also contains Default User Accounts that you can use initially.

The MashZone NextGen repository is initially installed in a Derby database suitable only for trial purposes. For proof-of-concept, development or production uses, move the repositories to a robust and compatible solution.

No configuration is required to use the default user repository. If you use this default, you manage user and group information using functions in the Admin Console. See these topics for more information:
