Re: [basex-talk] preserve auth behavior like older basex versions

Hello Erik,

hopefully our web.xml file included with BaseX (as part of the DBA) clears things up for you: https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/blob/master/basex-api/src/main/webapp/WEB-I...

Cheers

Dirk

• Authentication was readded to RESTXQ. As a consequence, you need to specify the |admin| user in your |web.xml| file if you want to preserve the behavior of older versions of BaseX.
• In turn, if users are defined in the |web.xml| file, no passwords must be specified anymore.
• The server-side authentication method, and default users, are now enforced and cannot be overwritten by client.
