The configuration
The settings for the CMSimple installation can be set in the file ./CMSimple/config.php or by using the "Edit configuration" form which is found under the menu item "SETTINGS" (only visible when logged in).
The settings names refer to variable names in the config.php, ie. security_password is same as $cf['security']['password']
Explanation of the variables
$cf['security']['password']="test";
This is the login password, default set to "test". If you change it, when you are logged in, you need to log in again using the new password. If your browser's cache is turned on, you may need to empty the browser's cookie cache.
$cf['security']['type']="page"; (Only available from version 2.8 - replaces the $cf['security']['wwwaut'])
There are 3 options for security type:
1: page - gives a login page (default)
2: javascript - gives a javascript login prompt
3: wwwaut - gives an WWW-Authenticate prompt - do not use this, unless you know, what you are doing.
In all instances, the login process is started by adding &login to the URL and hitting ENTER.
