I'm trying to change the Administrator password and I'm really surprised how difficult this is turning out. From what I can tell the CLI is the place to get the job done so this is what I try:

 /opt/membase/bin/cli/membase cluster-init --cluster-init-password=newPassword -c localhost:8091 - Administrator -p oldPassword

I get a return of:

 SUCCESS: init

But nothing is changed. Still have to use the old password. Am I missing something here?

Thanks,

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Looks like the success message was clearly supposed to be a failure.  I've created bug/issue MB-3257 to track this.

In the meantime, here's the command-line I used to change the web console Administrator password, against membase 1.6.4...

  ./membase cluster-init -c localhost:8091 -u OLD_USERNAME -p OLD_PASSWORD --cluster-init-password=NEW_PASSWORD

It's possible you might have had a typo with the "-u Administrator" in the command-line shown in your post?

Cheers,

Steve

Steve,

That did the trick. Apperently it was the order of the arguments. You were right, I had a typo in my post with the missing -u, but it was right on the command line I was using. When I typed the parameters in the same order you posted, it worked like a charm. Password is changed.

Thanks for the quick response,

Patrick
