How to enable and disable the default user in the application?

In this section, you will find a tutorial on how to enable and disable the default user in Horusec’s web application.

The functionality of the default user allows an user to be automatically created after Horusec-Auth starts.

Horusec-auth’s microsservice starts with:

The environment variable HORUSEC_ENABLE_DEFAULT_USER and the value true.

After that, Horusec makes it possible to create an user with its default value. The user is created with the following data:

username = dev
email = dev@example.com
password = Devpass0*

You can also configure the default user data in the Horusec-auth microsservice, see:

The environment variable HORUSEC_DEFAULT_USER_DATA and the value can be altered the way you want: "{\"username\": \"dev\",\"email\":\"dev@example.com\",\"password\":\"Devpass0*\"}"

When Horusec-auth starts with:

The environment variable HORUSEC_ENABLE_DEFAULT_USER and the value false.
- This user won’t be created in the system when the application starts.

After the user is created, it cannot be edited anymore.
