How to change password for the default "admin" user in Kaui

[Majeed Ghadialy]

I'm trying to change the password on the default admin user in Kaui and it keeps returning back with the following error: "Error: undefined method `split' for nil:NilClass". I'm trying to do it from Gear icons > Users > admin > Edit.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Majeed,

The default admin user is defined in the shiro.ini file on the server: Kaui cannot update it. You need to provide Kill Bill with your own shiro.ini file to change that password (KILLBILL_SHIRO_RESOURCE_PATH Docker variable or org.killbill.security.shiroResourcePath System Property).

I've updated our documentation to reflect this, see http://docs.killbill.io/latest/user_management.html.

I've also created https://github.com/killbill/killbill-admin-ui/issues/166 to make this clearer in Kaui.

Best regards,

Hi 

I've tried editing the shiro.ini file, but I can still log in with the old password, it is not entirely clear to me how to change the admin password.

Also for the docker env variable I assume we can fill in the absolute path in KILLBILL_SHIRO_RESOURCE_PATH ?

Kind regards

Ok, got it now, the env variable changed. For anyone else stumbling on this thread:

The docker env variable is now KILLBILL_SECURITY_SHIRO_RESOURCE_PATH. And looks like this when used: KILLBILL_SECURITY_SHIRO_RESOURCE_PATH=file:/var/tmp/shiro.ini

I copied the shiro file from /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/shiro.ini in the docker image.

In this file you can find the users and roles and under [users] adjusted it like so and left the rest as is:

[users]

admin = adminpassword, root

This user config has the following format: {username} = {password}, {role}  

Maybe these steps can be added in the documentation? Stuff like this is super important to be changed after the first login!

Did you already go through https://docs.killbill.io/latest/user_management.html#_kill_bill_setup?

If you think something is missing, feel free to open a PR (https://github.com/killbill/killbill-docs). 

Kind regards,

Hi Pierre

I did not, thanks for letting me know, I must have screwed up the order in which to follow the docs.

Thanks!

Kind regards

Hi Denis,

Did you set up your environment locally or on cloud somewhere? If on cloud, which one was it and did you have there any problems with setting the location of the shiro.ini file outside of the docker container. Just being curious.
