Change Passwords and Keys¤

This page describes how to changes passwords and keys for a new deployment (esp. in the context of a Single Node Cloud Installation)

Assuming your instance runs at https://cmem.example.com/ in a default installation Keycloak is deployed at https://cmem.example.com/auth (this may vary depending on your setup).

This is your starting page:

starting-page Change credentials of Keycloak admin account

To change the admin users password go to “Administration Console” and login with username/password admin/admin

In the upper right corner go to “Manage account”

managing-account In “Account Security” field go to “Signing In”

signing-account Click on update in “Basic Authentication” to set a new admin password for : basic-auth Set a new password.

Change credentials of cmem-service-account¤

Make sure, the realm Cmem is selected, go to Clients in left sidebar. Then edit cmem-service-account: cmem-selection Switch to “Credentials” tab and press “Regenerate Secret” Button. credentials-tab

Change credentials of user accounts¤

In default configuration, there are two Users: user and admin. Both are configured with different groups to have different permissions inside of Corporate Memory.

To change the default passwords, select the Cmem Realm, then open Users in the left sidebar:

users-lookup

user-details Then select “View all users” and chose an account you want to change the password (we start with admin)

view-all-users

Here you can change the password and unselect Temporary. Then press “Reset Password”

reset-password

Now proceed with the other account(s).

Persisting¤

Warning

This step is applicable only in case your deployment is based on the Single Node Cloud Installation.

In order to persist this setup go back to your terminal inside the installation directory.

The following make targets will create a database dump, store it in data/backups/keycloak/latest.sql as well as replace the initial database dump conf/postgres/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/keycloak_db.sql.

make keycloak-backup keycloak-restore
