I had created a FitnesseAuthentication.txt with following text:
!fitnesse.authentication.HashingCipher
admin:UqKBNj590CeI3kOLiZXL
And I used this file while running the fitnesse server as follows:
java -jar fitnesse-standalone.jar -r /wiki -e 0 -a FitnesseAuthentication.txt
The Server started and then I tried to access the webpage using localhost, the webpage allowed me to run the suit without any authentication. Is this correct way to authenticate the fitnesse server?
