How do you add other users to the login page?

There is nothing such as users in dradis (at least in the traditional sense of users with their passwords), there is only a password, a shared secret between all the users accessing a given instance of dradis (i.e. the team).

So when you first run the server it will prompt you to change The Password. Once that password is changed, all the users can log in by choosing a username and using The Password.

Once the assessment is completed, backup the database file (./server/db/development.sqlite3) to a safe location and run: "rake db:migrate" in the server folder to start with a fresh copy of the database. You will be prompted for a new password.

I am getting a '[error] Failed with 406 Not Acceptable' error in the GUI

The most likely cause for this error is that the access credentials are not configured properly in the client config file.

Edit the file in ./client/conf/dradis.xml and adjust the username and password in the connection URL (restful_server option). Close the client and launch again.

By default the server starts in 127.0.0.1:3004. How can I make it listen on a different interface/port number?

Port number can be changed using the -p parameter. For instance to listen on port 80:

ruby ./script/server -p 80

The interface can be changed using the -b parameter. To listen on ALL (dangerous!) interfaces do:

ruby ./script/server -b 0.0.0.0

You can adjust the shortcuts with this parameters. More on configuring the framework can be found in the configure and launch page.

Remember that you will need to adjust the client configuration file in client/conf/dradis.xml if you change the defaults.
