Issue
- I see a default@liferay.com user in my database. What is the purpose of this default user?
- If you have a virtual instance is configured, you may see another default user with the configured mail domain (i.e. default@companydomain.com)
Resolution
-
The default@liferay.com user is used as the technical stand-in for unauthenticated users and is how guest users work behind the scenes in the portal. A user cannot authenticate as the 'default' user should not cause any security vulnerabilities.
