[resolved] Database configuration : change the default password

[erwan2]

Hello,
how can I change the password to access the database configuration page.
I tried to change the value in the file webapps/org.talend.administrator/WEB-INF/server-config.wsdd, I restarted the server but the passwor is still "admin".

Hi Erwan
Open the file WEB-INF\classes\configuration.properties and change the parameter
# Password to access to db config page in the web-app:
database.config.password=admin

Plain text password stored in flat file that controls access to the database configuration page!
Any way to encrypt that password or disable the page entirely?

Hi share
After discussing with our developer, he suggest that you just need to modify the database.config.password parameter with a plain text password, and then restart Tomcat, the new password will be encrypted automatically in the configuration file.
