[Xerte] Re: Xerte Online Toolkits: Installation Guide

In the zip root folder is a file called switch.txt which you can
replace index.php with if you've not got LDAP.

Edit switch.txt and you'll see the passwords and such like.

I'm not sure it works at present, so try renaming switch.txt to index.php.
