Admin username and password not set in settings.json

[tobit6795]

etherpad shows the following warning:

Admin username and password not set in settings.json. To access admin please uncomment and edit ‘users’ in settings.json

despite the parameter being setup correctly:

 /*
  "users": {
    "admin": {
      "password": "passwd1",
      "is_admin": true
    },
    "user": {
      "password": "passwd2",
      "is_admin": false
    }
  },
  */

By the way, better store hashes instead of plain text passwords, see https://www.npmjs.com/package/ep_hash_auth

Thanks, I just looked for sth like that

This should be probably be a standard part of a production install anyways.
If the plugin is compatible, I would even make it a suggested option in the install documentation.

@muxator I fully support your proposal.
