I'm trying to change the default admin password to something other than the default. I've followed the instructions here to update the password: <A class="link-titled" href="https://docs.alfresco.com/6.0/concepts/admin-password.html" title="https://docs.alfresco.com/6.0/concepts/admin-password.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Admin password in default authentication | Alfresco Documentation</A></P><P></P><P>I also set the new password hash in my global properties file, but I think are only used at the startup of a new instance:</P><PRE style="background-color: #2b2b2b; color: #a9b7c6; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 9.0pt;"><SPAN style="color: #cc7832;">alfresco_user_store.adminusername</SPAN><SPAN style="color: #808080;">=secret</SPAN><SPAN style="color: #6a8759;"><BR /></SPAN><SPAN style="color: #cc7832;">alfresco_user_store.adminpassword</SPAN><SPAN style="color: #808080;">=</SPAN><SPAN style="color: #6a8759;">secret</SPAN></PRE><P><BR />When I query my database to see the password hash using the below query I see the new hash that I expect with my new password:<BR />SELECT anp1.node_id,<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; anp1.qname_id,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; anp1.string_value&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<BR />FROM alf_node_properties anp1 &nbsp;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp; INNER JOIN alf_qname aq1 ON aq1.id = anp1.qname_id&nbsp; &nbsp;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp; INNER JOIN alf_node_properties anp2 ON anp2.node_id = anp1.node_id&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<BR />&nbsp;&nbsp; INNER JOIN alf_qname aq2 ON aq2.id = anp2.qname_id&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<BR />WHERE aq1.local_name = 'password'<BR />AND aq2.local_name = 'username'<BR />AND anp2.string_value = 'admin';<BR /><BR /><BR />But my problem is that this new password never seems to take effect. I've restarted alfresco content services several times. Each time I try to connect using the CMIS workbench it requires using the old, default user and password. <BR /><BR />If I start up a fresh instance of alfresco locally in a docker container the password updates and seems to work fine. But the instance that I'm having trouble with I would like to avoid wiping out the schema and starting fresh, if at all possible. </P><P></P><P>Thanks for any tips or suggestions!</P><P>-Steve</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 20 Dec 2018 17:15:41 GMT spomerville 2018-12-20T17:15:41Z Changing the admin password has no effect https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-forum/changing-the-admin-password-has-no-effect/m-p/62539#M21638 I've got an alfresco enterprise 6.0 installation running within a docker/openshift environment.
