If the HTTP server is started with no pre-defined user, the credentials must be passed on by the client via [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication Basic Authentication] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digest_authentication Digest Authentication], depending on the chosen authentication method in the configuration.
With cURL, internet browsers, and other tools, you can specify basic authentication credentials within the request string as plain text, using the format <code>USER:PASSWORD@URL</code>. An example:

Users are specified in a {{Code|users.xml}} file, which is stored in the database directory (see [[User Management]] for more information).
