Configuring Reaper to change the default password

When you first install Reaper, the default username and password are admin and admin. If necessary, you can change this default password by following the steps below.
  1. Navigate to /apache-cassandra/reaper/conf/ directory and open shiro.ini in edit mode.
  2. Replace the existing plaintext password with the new one of your choice.
    Consider the following example to change the default password from admin to password:
    Change the content of the shiro.ini file from:
    default authentication is the following hardcoded admin user
    [users]
    admin = admin, operator
    To:
    default authentication is the following hardcoded admin user
    [users]
    admin = password, operator
  3. Save the changes and restart Cassandra Reaper using the following commands:
    stopGMDataReaper.sh
    startGMDataReaper.sh
  4. If you need to change the password on all seed nodes where Reaper is running, Repeat steps 1 to 3.
