Choose new usernames and passwords to secure the KonaKart Administration Application at the earliest opportunity.

The default users and roles are set up as examples of typical configurations of the role-based security system. You may wish to add new Admin users or adjust some of the roles as you see fit. The three users above should give you a few ideas about how the system can be configured.

The three users above are defined as "Admin Users". Note that "Admin Users" can actually log in to the KonaKart store using the same credentials. It doesn't work the other way around however: "Non Admin Users" cannot log into the Admin Application.

Although it's not recommended, it is possible to disable security completely if you wish. To configure this, see the comments inside the konakartadmin.properties file which can be found under the konakart installation directory at:


webapps\konakartadmin\WEB-INF\classes\konakartadmin.properties

(There are a number of additional configuration options that you can adjust to modify the behaviour of the KonaKart Administration Application - please refer to the comments in in the above properties file for details).

Super User

A "Super User" must be an Admin User with a role that has the super_user indicator set.

Since the "Super User" has privileges to change all the configuration settings in a KonaKart store, you must guard these credentials carefully.

Ensure that you change the password of the "Super User" account(s) as required by your Site Security policy for highly-privileged accounts.
