what is the root password?

[Thiago Souza]

Hello,

   I just downloaded OrientDB for the first time and I'm a little bit confused with the root password. It seems that the default password isn't "root".

   I've added the following line: <user resources="*" password="admin" name="admin"/>. With this, I can succesfully log in in server management (well, at least most of the time it logs in) but can't create a database. Please help.

Thanks

Hi,

You should start server, stop it then you will have following line in config/orientdb-server-config.xml 

 <user resources="*" password="xxxxx" name="root"/>

that is root user and password,

Once you've unziped OrientDB, start and stop the server one time (the default password for root is generated at first launching)

Next, open the file conf/orientdb-server-config.xml.

You should have a block like that:

<users>
        <user name="root" password="QSDJQS7YDQSIODNL2NSJDKSdsjfkdshIQSUDBSQD" resources="*"/>
        <user name="guest" password="guest" resources="connect,server.listDatabases,server.dblist"/>
</users>

The default password is in the password field (it's a plain text password).

You can simply replace it by the password of your choice, and restart the server.

Eg:

<users>

        <user name="root" password="root" resources="*"/>

        <user name="guest" password="guest" resources="connect,server.listDatabases,server.dblist"/>

</users>

 config/orientdb-server-config.xml    이파일을 직접수정하는거 외에 다른 방법이 있을까요?

I think the only way to change the password is to edit the config file.  You can change it after the first startup to clear text.  If you want to change it to an encrypted String, you'll need to encrypt it with a supported algorithm and paste it into the  password field (with the algorithm preceding the encrypted password e.g. "{PBKDF2WithHmacSHA256}").

I don't know if there's a way to manage the config file via the API.
