WSO2 Identity Server 5.0.0 - chpasswd.sh not working

Question

I have installed WSO2 Identity Server 5.0.0 on Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS. After replacing the default wso2carbon keystore I need to reset the admin password using the utility chpasswd.sh. This is where I run into problems, see below.

root@test:~/wso2is-5.0.0/bin# ./chpasswd.sh --db-url "jdbc:h2:/root/wso2is-5.0.0/repository/database/WSO2CARBON_DB"

It looks like there is a bug in the script. Anyone who knows how to solve this?

Answer 1

This is not a bug. chpasswd.sh script file is used to change the password of users, when user store is a JBDC based user store. It means, org.wso2.carbon.user.core.jdbc.JDBCUserStoreManager must be enabled in your user-mgt.xml file. All Carbon based products are shipped with enabling JDBC user store except Identity Server . WSO2 Identity Server uses a LDAP server as its default user store. It starts an embedded ApacheDS LDAP server internally and connects to that LDAP server. Therefore you can not use chpasswd.sh script file to change the password Identity Server unless it has been connected to JDBC user store. If you wish to change the admin password, You need to login to LDAP server and do it. There are several ways, you can do it. You can connect to embedded LDAP using any available LDAP browser (ex- Directory studio) and change the admin password using it.
