Opal HowTo Manage Users

Tags: Opal DataShield HowTo User Management

Overview

Opal users and passwords are stored in a file within the OPAL_HOME/conf directory. However, I have been told that it is also possible for users to authenticate using a certificate. However, this may not work when Opal is accessed through a Pound reverse proxy.

Procedure

1. Go to directory /local/opal-server{version}/tools/ and run the command ./shiro-hasher -p
2. Enter your password and copy the has string that is displayed by the tool.
3. Edit the file /local/opal_home/conf/shiro.ini
4. In the section for usernames create a line for the new user in the format:

       {username}={password hash from above},{role}
