Hello Guido, the password has to be encrypted in the xml file. just use 'htpasswd -n <user>' or 'htpasswd -nb <user> <passwdord>' example: ls3512:~ # htpasswd -n root New password: Re-type new password: root:ZHMzHMSmxYFIE or ls3512:~ # htpasswd -nb root root123 root:raPDr65tuS91Q Then you have to copy the password into the XML file like: <users config:type="list" > <user> <encrypted config:type="boolean" >true</encrypted> raPDr65tuS91Q <username>root</username> </user> <user> <encrypted config:type="boolean" >true</encrypted> pZzfg8kdfCbIY <username>sms</username> </user> </users> root is root123 sms is sms123 just like in your example...
