Authentication with CeresDB

CeresDB authenticates users with a username and password which are stored (salted and hashed in the case of the password) within the CeresDB instance. By default, CeresDB creates an admin user on startup with the following credentials:

Username	ceresdb
Password	ceresdb

The admin password can be controlled by setting the CERESDB_DEFAULT_ADMIN_PASSWORD environment variable.
