User Accounts
You can configure some users so they do not need any password to login, for example guests or children.
In such case, ensure those accounts do not have the Administrator Role selected (see below).
To view all existing accounts, go to the "Server Settings" page and click on the "Users" button:
You can click on one user's Name to go to his/her page and configure the account and "Parental Controls".

HTTPS/SSL
On the SSL port, the server creates its own private and public key every time it starts and self-signs its public certificate.
To install your own private and public key pair, proceed as following:
- Connect as a user with the Administrator Role.
- Go to the "Server Settings" page and click on the "Configure..." button.
- In the "SSL Keystore" section, select the file which contains your key pair.
- Select the File Type/Format if required.
- Type the File/Keystore password and Key/Alias password if required.
- Restart the server.
Disable Administrative Actions
To do so, go to "Server Settings" and click on the "Configure..." button.
In the dialog box, select the "Security" tab and select the "Limit administration actions to localhost/loopback only":
The server does not need to be restarted.
