Changing the default Password for the built-in Admin user (available since 1.1.0 release)
To enhance security, it is recommended to change the default password for the built-in administrator account. Follow the steps below to securely update the password:
Step 1: Generate a Secure Password Hash
1. Install the bcrypt-tool utility (if not already installed):
sudo snap install bcrypt-tool
2. Generate a bcrypt hash for your new password:
bcrypt-tool hash NewPassword
Replace NewPassword with your desired secure password. The output will be a hashed version of the password.
Step 2: Update the Configuration File
1. Open the local.app.properties file in a text editor.
2. Locate the following property or create it if it is not present: fixicch2.admin.password
3. Replace its value with the newly generated bcrypt hash. For example:
fixicch2.admin.password = $2a$10$q3bC26q1yCDyoIbifEdyeemzsC1pt9WRvfGcs2.Q92ent.As99Uuy
Step 3: Apply the Changes
Save the file and restart the FIXICC H2 service to apply the updated password configuration.
