Configuring MyAuthServer

The authentication server at SSRL is integrated with the web server applications. We have provided MyAuthServer, a simple stand-alone replacement application which you may find easier to configure and install than a full web server based application.

First, edit the dcsconfig/data/default.config or dcsconfig/data/beamline.config file and modify the following tags to indicate the listening port and host for the authentication server:

      auth.host=localhost
      auth.port=17000
      auth.secureHost=localhost
      auth.securePort=17001

Currently, MyAuthServer does not open a secure listening channel, secureHost and securePort will not affect MyAuthServer.

In the MyAuthServer/src directory, edit the users.txt file and add a new line for each user that should be able to access your beam line. A line with starting with a "#" is treated as a comment line.

An entry for user should be in the following generic format:

login,name,phone,title,beamlines,staff,roaming,enabled,sessionID,password
