Archiva Security Configuration

 Security properties and password rules are configured now in the Redback Runtime Configuration
 properties (see {{{./redback-runtime-configuration.html#Runtime_properties}Redback Runtime Configuration}}).

 The Redback Runtime Configuration properties are stored in <<<archiva.xml>>>.
 The former <<<security.properties>>> file, if it exists, is only used once for populating the
 Runtime Configuration settings. After that, this file will be ignored.

   []


~~TODO: Link to plexus-redback documentation when available

 These are the default properties. The file can be found in in Redback's svn repo:
 {{{http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/archiva/redback/redback-core/trunk/redback-configuration/src/main/resources/org/apache/archiva/redback/config-defaults.properties}
 config-defaults.properties}}

  <<Note:>> If installed standalone, Archiva's list of configuration files is <itself> configurable, and
  can be found in:
  <<<apps/archiva/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml>>>
