# UserName/Password Login
Out of the box, OpenMetadata comes with a Username & Password Login Mechanism.
The default Username and Password for Login are:
```commandline
Username - admin
Password - admin
```
{% note %}
Security requirements for your **production** environment:
- **DELETE** the admin default account shipped by OM.
- **UPDATE** the Private / Public keys used for the [JWT Tokens](/deployment/security/enable-jwt-tokens) in case it is enabled.
{% /note %}
# Setting up Basic Auth Manually
Below are the required steps to set up the Basic Login:
## Set up Configurations in openmetadata.yaml
### Authentication Configuration
The following configuration controls the auth mechanism for OpenMetadata. Update the mentioned fields as required.
```yaml
authenticationConfiguration:
provider: ${AUTHENTICATION_PROVIDER:-basic}
publicKeyUrls: ${AUTHENTICATION_PUBLIC_KEYS:-[http://localhost:8585/api/v1/system/config/jwks]}
authority: ${AUTHENTICATION_AUTHORITY:-https://accounts.google.com}
enableSelfSignup : ${AUTHENTICATION_ENABLE_SELF_SIGNUP:-true}
```
For the Basic auth we need to set:
- `provider`: basic
- `publicKeyUrls`: {http|https}://{your_domain}:{port}}/api/v1/system/config/jwks
- `authority`: {your_domain}
- `enableSelfSignup`: This flag indicates if users can come and signup by themselves on the OM
### Authorizer Configuration
This configuration controls the authorizer for OpenMetadata:
```yaml
authorizerConfiguration:
adminPrincipals: ${AUTHORIZER_ADMIN_PRINCIPALS:-[admin]}
allowedEmailRegistrationDomains: ${AUTHORIZER_ALLOWED_REGISTRATION_DOMAIN:-["all"]}
principalDomain: ${AUTHORIZER_PRINCIPAL_DOMAIN:-"openmetadata.org"}
```
For the Basic auth we need to set:
- `adminPrincipals`: admin usernames to bootstrap the server with, comma-separated values.
- `allowedEmailRegistrationDomains`: This controls what all domain are allowed for email registration can be your {princialDomain} as well, for example gmail.com, outlook.comm etc.
- `principalDomain`: This controls what all domain are allowed for email registration, for example gmail.com, outlook.comm etc.
{% note %}
Please note the following are the formats to bootstrap admins on server startup: `[admin1,admin2,admin3]`
This works for SMTP-enabled servers, Login Password for these are generated randomly and sent to the mail `adminName`@`principalDomain`.
If SMTP is not enabled for OpenMetadata, please use the below method to create admin users: `[admin1:password1,admin2:password2,admin3:password3]`
This allows to bootstrap the server with given password, later on can be changed by specific users by visiting profile page.
{% /note %}
## Metadata Ingestion
For ingesting metadata when Basic Auth is enabled, it is mandatory to configure the `ingestion-bot` account with the JWT
configuration. To know how to enable it, you can follow the documentation of [Enable JWT Tokens](/deployment/security/enable-jwt-tokens).
### Setting up SMTP Server
Basic Authentication is successfully set. For a better login experience, we can also set up the SMTP server to allow the
users to Reset Password, Account Status Updates, etc. as well.
```yaml
email:
emailingEntity: ${OM_EMAIL_ENTITY:-"OpenMetadata"} -> Company Name (Optional)
supportUrl: ${OM_SUPPORT_URL:-"https://slack.open-metadata.org"} -> SupportUrl (Optional)
enableSmtpServer : ${AUTHORIZER_ENABLE_SMTP:-false} -> True/False
openMetadataUrl: ${OPENMETADATA_SERVER_URL:-""} -> {http/https}://{your_domain}
senderMail: ${OPENMETADATA_SMTP_SENDER_MAIL:-""} -> Sender's email
serverEndpoint: ${SMTP_SERVER_ENDPOINT:-""} -> (Ex :- smtp.gmail.com)
serverPort: ${SMTP_SERVER_PORT:-""} -> (SSL/TLS port)
username: ${SMTP_SERVER_USERNAME:-""} -> (SMTP Server Username)
password: ${SMTP_SERVER_PWD:-""} -> (SMTP Server Password)
transportationStrategy: ${SMTP_SERVER_STRATEGY:-"SMTP_TLS"}
```
Following are valid value for transportation strategy:
- `SMTP`: If SMTP port is 25 use this
- `SMTPS`: If SMTP port is 465 use this
- `SMTP_TLS`: If SMTP port is 587 use this
