Description

By default, if Brooklyn is not configured with a username+password in brooklyn.properties, Brooklyn will only bind to the localhost interface, refusing connections from the network.

To ease first time users starting Brooklyn on a server, change Brooklyn to:

1. Always bind on all interfaces;
2. If no username and password is configured, generate one randomly and print the details to the console
3. Additionally, if no username and password is configured, continue to allow passwordless logins on the localhost interface.
