This section of the documentation covers details of the data files used to configure uPortal.
data/quickstart as production ready,
these files provides a quickstart ready only and are only for a demo use.
As example if you enable the uPortal local authentication with the
property org.apereo.portal.security.provider.SimpleSecurityContextFactory.enabled=true
and that you import the files under data/quickstart/user anyone will be able to connect
to the portal with the link https://my.university.edu/uPortal/Login?userName=admin&password=admin.
To avoid problems set that property org.apereo.portal.security.provider.SimpleSecurityContextFactory.enabled to false
into etc/portal/uPortal.properties and check that property isn't enabled and overriding it anywhere (uPortal set it as false by default,
but uPortal-start enable it). And test access.
On an other way if you need to keep these users and a such auth system consider to change default password !
