Can I change OpenXava login password (without XavaPro)?

Question

When I run my OpenXava application the only way to sign in is using 'admin' as user and 'admin' as password:

How can I define a different password for admin user? Using plain OpenXava, not XavaPro.

Answer 1

In the folder 'properties' inside your project you can find a file called naviox-users.properties, with this content:

# In plain OpenXava the users are added here in the form user=password
# If you want full management of users, roles and modules stored in database, 
#   get XavaPro from here: http://www.openxava.org/xavapro

admin=admin

Edit it, and change admin=admin by admin=yourownpassword. You have to restart your application in order it has effect.
