I am testing logging into FTPServer with in SSL, using the example keystore 
which is provided with FTPServer (./res/ftpserver.jks), and which is referenced 
in the example Spring config file.  In other words, SSL login.
 
When logging in unsecured mode as admin, I have always used "admin","admin" as 
username and pass, respectively. And they has always worked.
 
However, now that I have configured FTPServer to use AUTH SSL security,  when I 
try to log-in as admin with the same password "admin", that password is no 
longer accepted.  Not accepted in AUTH SSL mode.
 
SSL, itself, is working, as the logs show, and my FTP client shows the popup 
prompting me to accept the certificate, etc... THe SSL handshake, itself, works 
properly and all is going fine until I enter my password. At that point, 
entering "admin" (the default admin-user's pass).  Although "admin" is accepted 
in unsecure mode, it is NOT accepted in SSL mode.
 
By debugging, I have verified that the login failure reply originates in class 
PASS  (the handler for the FTP PASS--password--command), Not in class AUTH. So 
it doesn't seem to be a problem with SSL set-up, rather just that I am using 
the wrong password.  Of course, user.properties stores the password's hash--not 
the actual password, so I can't look it up.
 
When logging-on through SSL, is there a different password I must login with as 
administrator?  What is the password I must use to login when keyfile 
ftpserver.jks is being used, with SSL?
