Description

As of now, the Rudder packages and other scripts assume that some passwords are fixed, so many components are accessible using standard passwords. This is obvisouly a security risk, and will be fixed automatically in the next version (2.5.0). See also #860 that will fix this automatically for the 2.5.0 version.

For now, we must document this and provide a simple procedure to change these passwords in the documentation.

A (maybe) non exhaustive list :
  • The WebDAV password, defined in apache config and the inventory PT
  • The OpenLDAP password defined in slapd.conf and rudder-web.properties and inventory-web.properties
  • The PSQL password, defined in PSQL and rudder-web.properties
