That's out of date.  I don't have the right access to modify that page, so I'll 
leave it to others.

Yes, in 1.2+ the filename must be "tenant ID" + .xml.  However, since most 
installations will likely use a single-tennant configuration, and since 
security.xml is the correct filename in 1.1.x, we may want to allow 
$FELIX/conf/security/security.xml as an alias for 
$FELIX/conf/security/mh_default_org.xml in 1.2.  Would that clear things up?
