Hi,
I have just installed the 5.11 REST-API war-file on Tomcat6 with an Oracle database behind.
At startup, the tables in oracle were created, but no content is in there.

Now I want to follow the curl example (curl –basic –user kermit:kermit http://localhost:8080/activiti-rest/service/xxx) in the user guide but it always says:

<html>
<head>
<title>Status page</title>
</head>
<body style="font-family: sans-serif;">
Forbidden
Authentication is required
You can get technical details <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.4">here</a>. 
Please continue your visit at our <a href="/">home page</a>.

</body>
</html>

I have also created a user kermit and group kermit with role security-role directly with sql in the tables ACT_ID_GROUP and ACT_ID_USER and tried to login with kermit:kermit.

How can I manage the authentication?

Kind regards,
Thomas

We introduced a demo data generator in the 5.12 release. You can just take that bean and add it to your config: https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti/tree/master/modules/activiti-rest/src/main/java/org/activiti/re...

Thank you for the answer. At creation time of the datatables it might be a good idea to also create a user (aka superuser or admin), so that you can use the REST-API after installation. A kermit/kermit might help here.

Is it possible to ship the neccessary data for the first login-user in the next version?

Yes, good point. Although that might conflict with existing users created by Explorer of course.
But I'll add it, yes!
