## Class TUserManager

Description

Implements interfaces:

- IUserManager

TUserManager class

TUserManager manages a static list of users TUser. The user information is specified via module configuration using the following XML syntax,

     <module id="users" class="System.Security.TUserManager" PasswordMode="Clear">
       <user name="Joe" password="demo" />
       <user name="John" password="demo" />
       <role name="Administrator" users="John" />
       <role name="Writer" users="Joe,John" />
     </module>

In addition, user information can also be loaded from an external file specified by UserFile property. Note, the property only accepts a file path in namespace format. The user file format is similar to the above sample.

The user passwords may be specified as clear text, SH1 or MD5 hashed by setting PasswordMode as Clear, SH1 or MD5. The default name for a guest user is Guest. It may be changed by setting GuestName property.

TUserManager may be used together with TAuthManager which manages how users are authenticated and authorized in a Prado application.

Methods
getGuestName (line 175)

- return: guest name, defaults to 'Guest'
- access: public

string getGuestName ()
getPasswordMode (line 191)

- return: (Clear|MD5|SH1) how password is stored, clear text, or MD5 or SH1 hashed. Default to MD5.
