Hello!

I changed my admin user name and password, as the doc says, but I'm unable to login again on my instance (using AWS).

I reset the password with 

sudo htpasswd -cbm /usr/local/coronium/conf/admin_auth admin coroniumserver

And then, I has been able to login.

After some testing, I found that the problem may be on using symbols as # $ % &, ... on the password.

Finally, I used a password without symbols to avoid problems, but I think any password field must admit (at least some) symbols.

So... may I suggest to add to your long TODO list looking at this and solving by one of this options, for example:
a) allow symbols
b) doc about allowed (or unallowed) symbols

Thank you!!

Hi,

Unfortunately, that is not something that I have direct control over. 

Have you tried encoding the password first:

sudo htpasswd -cbm /usr/local/coronium/conf/admin_auth admin $(base64 coroniumserver)

Let me know if that makes any difference.

Cheers.

Well, I used a password without symbols.

Thank you!
