Stroom's Internal IDP
By default a new Stroom instance/cluster will use its own internal Identity Provider (IDP) for authentication.
Note
An exception to this is the _test variant of the Stroom Docker stack which will default to using Test Credentials
In this configuration, Stroom acts as its own Open ID Connect Identity Provider and manages both the user accounts for authentication and the user/group permissions, (see Accounts and Users).
A fresh install will come pre-loaded with a user account called admin with the password admin.
This user is a member of a
group
called Administrators which has the Administrator application permission.
This admin user can be used to set up the other users on the system.
Additional user accounts are created and maintained using the Tools => Users menu item.
