Dev mode

Dev mode is a development security provider that allows you to evaluate Management Center without needing credentials for logging in or using the REST API.

Once you have enabled dev mode, you are automatically logged into Management Center as an admin user without needing to supply any credentials.

To set up dev mode, you can use the UI or the hz-mc conf tool.
