Security

By default beastiary will generate a unique token used to log in to the webapp. This can be disabled using the --no-security option. At the login page press login without entering the token.

$ beastiary --no-security

Go to: <span style="color: green;">http://127.0.0.1:5000/login?token=8e02d06b-d30e-4a89-8476-fb22712a31b3</span>

<span style="color: yellow;">WARNING</span>: Security disabled!

Warning

If you are using beastiary on a shared computer (e.g. a HPC) disabling security will enable other users to log into your beastiary session and thus access files in your account.

User defined token

Use the --token option to define your own token e.g. so it's the same every time you start beastiary. 

$ beastiary --token weakPassword

Go to: <span style="color: green;">http://127.0.0.1:5000/login?token=weakPassword</span>

If prompted enter token: weakPassword
