This authentication is built-in to Grouper and does not use tomcat or apache authentication

You need to configure Grouper to use the build-in basic authentication and you need to create/manage the username(s) and password(s) for the UI or for WS in the data base.

After you have completed the steps in the Configure section and the Manage users section on this page then the basic auth features should work for you.

NOTE: You can "Manage users" before and after you enable the built-in authentication feature. The account data lives in the DB so you need to have a stable DB data set too.
