Configuration

The default configuration file is located in MODPATH/auth/config/auth.php. You should copy this file to APPPATH/config/auth.php and make changes there, in keeping with the cascading filesystem.

Config merging allows these default configuration settings to apply if you don't overwrite them in your application configuration file.
