2.4.11 release comes with a preconfigured user and password, which can be
changed by editing the configuration file

WEB-INF\classes\ambit2\rest\config\config.prop

#set to false to disable
aa.local.enabled=true
#sets user name
aa.local.admin.name=theusername
#sets user password
aa.local.admin.pass=thepass

Alternatively, you could set

aa.enabled=true to enable OpenTox authentication and authorization

When I am trying to create the ambit2 database. I am getting the error :

Could you tell how do you try to create the database. Do you have MySQL
installed ? Please follow the instructions at

http://ambit.sourceforge.net/install_ambitrest.html

Correct, the local machine credentials are not related at all to the web
application.

Ambit does not use Tomcat users configuration. It is a Restlet
http://restlet.org/ (not really servlet) application, which is configured
to run under servlet container.

Indeed, setting the permissions is not related,

Please edit the config.prop file and use the configured credentials to log
in.
