Configuration Password Not Set

[aeoni...@gmail.com]

Hi folks,

I recently updated from an earlier version (1.6.x) to 1.7.1 and was hoping that I'd be able to simply drop my old configuration file in place and that'd be job done... however I wanted to change a setting so I clicked on "Edit Configuration" and I get the below:

Configuration format error: config file does not have a configuration password { 5203 CONFIG_FORMAT_ERROR (config file does not have a configuration password) fields: [config file does not have a configuration password] }

From what I can guess I must need to set a new property in the config file or the likes... could someone let me know what I need to do to be able to edit my configuration through the site?

Thanks,

Peter

In the configuration menu, you can set a password for the configuration. After that, you can save the configuration.

This is my problem, I cannot access the configuration menu because it says the configuration file does not contain a password, what it seems I need is the right syntax and such for adding it directly to the PWM configuration file.

Please try adding this, near the bottom of the XML (just above </PwmConfiguration>):

  <properties type="config" modifyTime="2014-09-08T19:46:31Z">
    <property key="configPasswordHash" modifyTime="2014-02-10T09:12:29Z"></property>
    <property key="configIsEditable" modifyTime="2014-02-12T12:44:28Z">true</property>
    <property key="configEpoch" modifyTime="2014-09-08T19:46:31Z">1</property>
  </properties>

I still get the same error message as posted in my original reply... What sort of password hash is it after? Could I just generate one and paste it in to the configPasswordHash field?

It seems it isn't happy with the password field being blank...

[Menno Pieters]

Try this:

    <property key="configPasswordHash" modifyTime="2014-09-09T09:37:53Z">$2a$10$AjxdO5TY95CtcxjU8Y832e1mV8wBqtltKTnOjWw9jIzoxceXIPmby</property>

Password is "test" (without quotes).

P.S. It may be encrypted using the internal encryption key, so not guaranteed to work either...

Works like a charm, I can now access the configuration page... and subsequently changed that password and all works happily now.

Thankyou.
