Admin password change - Futon?
Is there a way to change an admin password in Futon? (Only one admin
user so far)
What's the simplest way otherwise?
Thanks,
Marcus

You can just have "username = password" in plain text, CouchDB will take care of hashing the password afterwards. Also, if you delete all admin rows, you are back to admin party and you can set up a shiny new admin user using Futon.

you can update local.ini via curl _config. read
http://techzone.couchbase.com/sites/default/files/uploads/all/documentation/couchbase-api.html
& play around with it. I'll look tomorrow to put a proper example on
the wiki.

There must be a way to manage this in the CouchOne / IrisCouch interface. Unfortunately I have no clue where exactly it is. Ask them, if you can't find it.

Thanks Gabor,
The DB is hosted on CouchOne/Couchbase so I cannot access the file
system. Do you mean I can delete the admin user in Futon's config
section, then recreate it?
The DB is in use for a web app so I don't want to disrupt it except
for a minute or so.
Thanks,
Marcus

Edit the [admins] section of local.ini (usually at /usr/local/etc/couchdb/local.ini but depends on where you have couchdb installed). You can just have "username = password" in plain text, CouchDB will take care of hashing the password afterwards. Also, if you delete all admin rows, you are back to admin party and you can set up a shiny new admin user using Futon.
