+
+== Overview
+
+Opal users and passwords are stored in a file within the {{{OPAL_HOME/conf}}} directory.  However, I have been told that it is also possible for users to authenticate using a certificate.  However, this may not work when Opal is accessed through a Pound reverse proxy.
+
+== Procedure
+
+1. Go to directory {{{/local/opal-server{version}/tools/}}} and run the command {{{./shiro-hasher -p}}}
+2. Enter your password and copy the has string that is displayed by the tool.
+3. Edit the file {{{/local/opal_home/conf/shiro.ini}}}
+4. In the section for usernames create a line for the new user in the format:
+{{{
+    {username}={password hash from above},{role}
+}}}
