Archiva Security Configuration

 Security properties and password rules can be configured in the
 <<<security.properties>>> file, which by default is searched for in:

   * <<<~/.m2/security.properties>>>
  
   * <<<$ARCHIVA_HOME/conf/security.properties>>>

   []

 (In the above list, <<<~>>> is the home directory of the user who is running
 Archiva, and <<<$ARCHIVA_HOME>>> is the directory where Archiva is installed,
 such as <<</opt/archiva-1.1-SNAPSHOT>>>.)

~~TODO: Link to plexus-redback documentation when available

 Following are some of the properties you can modify.  For a complete list,
 consult the default properties file in Redback's svn repo:
 {{{http://svn.codehaus.org/redback/redback/trunk/redback-configuration/src/main/resources/org/codehaus/plexus/redback/config-defaults.properties}
 config-defaults.properties}}
