Dashboard authentication
How people sign in to the Dashboard with its built-in accounts.
The Dashboard authenticates every person who signs in with a built-in account - a username and a password that the Dashboard itself stores.
Built-in accounts
Built-in authentication requires no configuration. A container creates an admin account, and you set its password with Zato_Dashboard_Password - see the environment variable reference.
The login page shows a username and password form.
The API portal
The API portal shares the Dashboard's authentication. Admins sign in to the portal with the same credentials as the Dashboard admin and receive the full OpenAPI document with complete try-it access.
