Okay, I found some info on the website. I was trying to use sql authentication since ldap server is not yet available. I used the following configuration in isis.properties -
*isis.authentication=sql isis.authentication.sql.jdbc.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver isis.authentication.sql.jdbc.connection=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/tutorial isis.authentication.sql.jdbc.user=*** isis.authentication.sql.jdbc.password=*** isis.authentication.sql.userTable=user_authentication isis.authentication.sql.userNameField=username isis.authentication.sql.passwordField=password * But getting the following error while deploying - *Error in custom provider, org.apache.isis.core.commons.factory.InstanceCreationException: Failed to load installer; named/class:'sql' (of type org.apache.isis.core.runtime.authentication.AuthenticationManagerInstaller)* Where I am going wrong? I'm using isis version *0.3.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT*and file authentication is working fine for me. Thanks, Sudipto.
