 ## configuration
-The configuration is located at the top of the script. The options are commented and named laconically. If you have any questions [write me an email](mailto:marco@misterunknown.de).
+See [configuration](https://github.com/misterunknown/ifm/wiki/Configuration).
 ### authentication
-The IFM offers a simple authentication feature using the configuration keys `auth` and `auth_source`. You can configure it like this:
-```php
-    "auth" => 1,
-    "auth_source" => 'inline;<username>:<password_hash>',
-```
-In the example above the user and password are declared inline. You can also use a file (which should lie out of the $DocumentRoot of the webserver):
-```php
-	"auth_source" => 'file;/path/to/file',
-```
-The file should contain ONLY ONE LINE:
-```
-<username>:<password_hash>
-```
-The password hash has to be a hash generated by PHPs `password_hash()` function. The default credentials are "admin:admin". 
+See [authentication](https://github.com/misterunknown/ifm/wiki/Authentication).
