Trouble changing the Web Management Console admin username and password

[Erik Froese <er...@gmail.com>]

Hey All,

I'm working with felix via Sling and I'm having trouble getting the
Web Management Console to authenticate me when I change the admin
username or password. I'm really interested in just the password but
it seems like neither value is sticking.

This page, http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-web-console.html
identifies the target class
org.apache.felix.webconsole.internal.servlet.OsgiManager.

I tried setting the username and password properties by adding a
config file org.apache.felix.webconsole.internal.servlet.OsgiManager.cfg

With that file in place felix correctly shows the new password in the
configuration manager (/system/console/configMgr).
However I cannot log in with the new credentials. Only admin:admin works.

I see the same result after a restart and after changing it in the
Felix Web management Console form.

I also tried upgrading our Web Management Console from 3.1.2 to 3.1.6
but that doesn't seem to have helped either.

I tried uploading the webconsole 3.1.6 jar into the /system/console to
update it. After that I'm able to use the new password once and then
it reverts.

Does anyone have some insight or pointers on where to go from here?

Thanks
Erik Froese

Hi,

please check if you have the
org.apache.sling.extensions.webconsolesecurityprovider
bundle installed - if so, this uses the repository for authentication,
so actually the user/password is checked against the repo.

If you uninstall this bundle, the configuration values should be effective.
