Problems changing admin password
I have this strange problem where changing the admin password does not seem
to have any effect.
I've done exactly what Justin explained below and in fact with curl I get a
login page when using the old admin password (the default "admin") and I get
the landing page when using the new one.
But... and this is the strange thing... when I try to access
/system/console/bundles it only accepts the old password! Even after
restarting glassfish.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Tako

Not quite. The webconsole is just another "webapp".
That said, since webconsole 3.1.0 has been released with an
implementation of pluggable access control (see FELIX-1764), it should
be possible to have the webconsole use Sling/Jackrabbit's user database.

This should only be the case if both usernames and passwords are set to
the same values. In that case, because both use basic HTTP
authentication, the browser passes the credentials to both applications.

Hmmm, yes and no. You are aware that after logging in with the Sling admin
user you don't have to log in anymore with the OSGi admin user?
That's what had me confused, I could use two different user/password
combinations to access the console.

The difference is application users -- managed by sling -- versus container users --
managed by OSGi.
Think tomcat users (container) vs webapp users (application).

Ok, I have some more information.
This problem ONLY occurs when I go directly to the /system/console/bundles
URL without having logged in beforehand!
In that case a standard browser login dialog pops up instead of the Sling
login page and that dialog accept only the old password.
If I go to the login page first it will only accept the new password.
Is there double user bookkeeping somewhere?

Ah. That's a different password. It just happens to have the same
default value. See
