Change the administrator password

Each time you log on to Management and Security Server as an administrator, you enter a password, which opens the Administrative Console:

<hostname>/adminconsole

Important

The MSS Administrative Console password is also used to log in to the Metering Console and Terminal ID Manager. One administrator password opens each of these MSS services.

Change administrator password

To change the administrative password, open Configure Settings - General Security in the MSS Administrative Console. Enter the current password; then enter and confirm the new password.

Note

This action also changes the administrator password for the Metering Console and Terminal ID Manager.

Reset the administrator password

In the case that the administrator password needs to be reset to access the Administrative Console, follow these steps.

To reset the administrator password:

  1. Using ssh, make a terminal connection to any node in the cluster.

  2. Execute the following commands:

    • /opt/opentext/csp/bin/kubectl delete secret mss-auth-service-admin -n mss
    • /opt/opentext/csp/bin/kubectl rollout restart statefulset mss-mss-server -n mss

  3. Log into the Administrative Console using the now reset default password of admin.
