Configure a basic user registry for the Liberty profile

1. Add the appSecurity-2.0 Liberty feature to server.xml.

2. To use SSL, add the ssl-1.0 Liberty feature to server.xml.

3. Configure the basic registry for the server...

   <basicRegistry id="basic" realm="customRealm">
        <user name="mlee" password="p@ssw0rd" />
        <user name="rkumar" password="pa$$w0rd" />
        <user name="gjones" password="{xor}Lz4sLCgwLTs=" />
        <group name="students">
            <member name="mlee" />
            <member name="rkumar" />
        </group>
   </basicRegistry>

   Use unique names for the users and groups. Remove trailing and leading spaces from the user and group names. If user ID or password contains characters other than US-ASCII, save the file using UTF-8 character encoding. WAS Developer Tools for Eclipse encode passwords automatically.

4. Encode user passwords...
   cd $INSTALL_ROOT/bin/ ./securityUtility encode mypassword
