Sonatype CLM Server - Security Administration Guide

2.2. Changing the Admin Password

Sonatype CLM ships with a default admin account with a username admin and a password admin123. If you do nothing else related to security in Sonatype CLM, be sure to change this password. We’ll cover this in Section 2.4, “Editing and Deleting User Information” section below in more details, while we detail the process to change this default password now.

  1. Log into the Sonatype CLM Server using a user with administrative permissions.
  2. In the top right click on the button with your username to the left of the System Preferences gear-shaped, icon. For the default administrator the user name will show Admin Builtin.
  3. A list of options will be displayed, click Change Password.
  4. Enter the current password (admin123 for the default admin user), the new password, and then confirm the new password.
  5. Click the Change button to save the new password.

Note

Any user, including an admin, can change their password following the instructions above. However, only an admin can reset a user’s password (discussed later in this Guide) without knowledge of the current password.
