Authenticating Web Console Users against the JCR Repository

Ever encountered a use case to provide users logged in to the JCR, access to the Felix Web Console?

The Apache Sling Web Console Security Provider bundle verifies user credentials and grants access to the Apache Felix Web console based on registered JCR repository users.

The following configuration is used to add users that have to be granted access:



User Names - The list of users granted access to web console.
Group Names - The list of groups whose members are granted access to the web console.

The default configuration explicitly grants the user 'admin' access to the felix web console.

If the web console security provider bundle is not activated, then the default web console authentication is used. 

Hope this helps!
