This is an improvement, since it is what will allow automated testing of
the whole thing. 

If you are so keen on security, please allow me to think about it and fix it,
and I'd suggest removing the Apache Felix Web Management Console which has a 
different admin password than the main admin - so you told me - and which is 
bound to leave a back door in every Clerezza installation. That seems easy to
fix.
