Logging Into Your Blog >>

If you have downloaded the blojsom Quickstart bundle, you may skip this step in the tutorial. The default username in the Quickstart bundle is default and the default password in the Quickstart bundle is 123default456. You are strongly encouraged to change the password for the user after logging into your blog.

If you would like to add more authorized users who can access your blog ahead of time, then you may follow these steps to add a new user and give them permissions to access the blog.

Authorized users are added to an blog's /WEB-INF/(blog-id)/authorization.properties file. The usernames and passwords in this file control the users that can access the individual blog either via the administration console or XML-RPC. The format of this file is as follows.

username=password,\{optional e-mail address}

Each separate line represents an individual username and password combination. You may associate an e-mail address with the username by adding a "," and the username's e-mail address. The e-mail address is used to send the username an e-mail message if they forget their password. If the e-mail address is not present, the username is assumed to be associated with the blog owner and therefore an e-mail message in this case would be sent to the blog owner's e-mail address.

Edit the permissions file located in $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/blojsom/WEB-INF/default/permissions.properties. This file specifies the users permissions on the individual blog. The format of this file is as follows.

username=permission

Each separate line represents an individual username and permission combination. The permissions page describes more on individual permissions for blojsom components.
