Orion/Server admin guide

Creating an admin user
No accounts are built into the Orion server by default. This avoids a vulnerability caused by well-known users and passwords that administrators neglect to change. While a small-scale server might not require an admin user at all, it is useful to create an admin account for larger-scale user management (seeing list of all users, adding/deleting users, etc). To create an admin account launch the server with a special system property specifying the admin password:
eclipse -vmargs -Dorion.storage.admin.default.password="mypassword"
This will cause an administrator account to be created as the server starts up. The admin user name is "admin" and the password will be the value specified by the system property. Once the admin account has been created, the system property is no longer required on startup (the admin password can be changed later by logging in as the administrator and going to the profile management page).
