+- Docker users must download the security jar version by setting ``DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY`` to ``true`` in environment variables.
 - Then either enable login via the settings.yml file or via setting ``SECURITY_ENABLE_LOGIN`` to ``true``
 - Now the initial user will be generated with username ``admin`` and password ``stirling``. On login you will be forced to change the password to a new one. You can also use the environment variables ``SECURITY_INITIALLOGIN_USERNAME`` and  ``SECURITY_INITIALLOGIN_PASSWORD`` to set your own straight away (Recommended to remove them after user creation).
