Currently you have two options: an LDAP registry for the enterprise, or for
a lightweight installation, you may use the tomcat user database realm. The
team server download is pre-configured to use this. The realm uses a simple
xml file to manage users and groups. The file is located in
<jazz>/server/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml; however updates to this file can
be managed by using the Jazz application.

This is documented more fully at the following WIKI topic:
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RoleMigrationAndLdapConfiguration

We do not currently support using OS accounts for Jazz authentication.

I have seen some posts on the forum refer to the fact that the
authentication method for Jazz users depend on the application server
used. Not being at all familiar with the administration side of
either Tomcat nor WAS, I have the following questions:

1. If I am not using LDAP, can I create my own list of user ids ? In
other words, I don't want my user ids to be tied to any OS user db nor
LDAP repository.

2. Conversely, if I am on Windows and want to use the Windows domain
for authentication (users log in using their windows domain account),
is that possible?

3. Can I have a mix of the 2 above ?
