The login window must be configured to prompt for username and password, rather than show a list of users.

Check content

To check if the login window is configured to prompt for user name and password, run the following command: system_profiler SPConfigurationProfileDataType | grep SHOWFULLNAME | awk '{ print $3 }' | sed 's/;//' If this setting is not defined, or not set to "1", this is a finding.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
