Changing the admin username?

Hi

Just wondering is it possible to change the admin username to something else?

Thanks

what you can do is to create a new user and add him to administator group and then delete admin

Hi

At bootstrap time, before you start the repo for the first time,  you can set ….

alfresco_user_store.adminusername=admin

However there may be some hard coded references to admin where there should not be ….
They should all refernce this value.

Thanks for the replies,

I've tried that in the global properties file with no luck. The ldap authentication is working. Here's an extract from the log file.
