How to disable Basic Auth on Neo4j 2.2.0-RC01

Question

Currently I use Neo4j 2.2.0-RC01. It has basic Auth enable as default. How can I disable the default Basic Auth on Neo4j 2.2.0-RC01?

Answer 1

For me that was only part of the problem. I had also installed neo4j onto my machine using brew install before I installed the gem. When I was trying to start the server, it was trying to start the server from the brew installation, from inside the Cellar. I had edited the config, as described above, in the install in my project that I produced by following the neo4j install instructions. So it wasn't working.

Only when I brew uninstalled neo4j, and executed ./neo4j start_ from the bin folder, did it all work properly for me.

In file conf/neo4j-server.properties, change the dbms.security.auth_enabled to false and restart Neo4j:

# Require (or disable the requirement of) auth to access Neo4j
dbms.security.auth_enabled=false
