{{Mark|Updated with Version 8Authentication: * If a user is defined in the <code>web.xml</code> file via the key <code>org.basex.user</code>, no password must be specified.* If the <code>admin</code> user is specified for an API, all features will be available without restriction.* Predefined authentication methods and default users cannot be overwritten by client.6:}}
* Authentication was readded to RESTXQ. As a consequence, you need to specify the <code>admin</code> user in your <code>web.xml</code> file if you want to preserve the behavior of older versions of BaseX.
* In turn, if users are defined in the <code>web.xml</code> file, no passwords must be specified anymore.
* The server-side authentication method, and default users, are now enforced and cannot be overwritten by client.<br/><br/>

=Servlet Container=
You can configure the port, context path, etc. by following the instructions of the corresponding servlet container. This is needed if you want to replace the default URL path (e.g. http://localhost:8080/rest) with a custom one (e.g. http://localhost:8984/basex/rest).
If you use Jetty (which is the default HTTP server of BaseX), the server configuration is available via the {{Code|jetty.xml}} file, which is stored in the {{Code|WEB-INF}} directory next to the {{Code|web.xml}}. For detailed configuration refer to the [http://wikiwww.eclipse.org/Jettyjetty/documentation/Referencecurrent/jetty-xml-config.xml html Jetty Documentation].
To run on [http://tomcat.apache.org/ Apache Tomcat], start the Tomcat server and add any <code>*.war</code> distribution to deploy via the Tomcat web interface. By default, the interface is accessible via http://localhost:8080/manager/html/.
