@astateofmind The admin password can be changed only with securityadmin.sh script and internal_users.yml file.
I know, that’s NOT the best way to do it for a container …
what happens when I restart the container, update the image, etc?
It is a bad decision, ending up with a lot installations with admin/admin.
@astateofmind How did you deploy your cluster?
Looks like it could work with creating an image with admin user not restricted (custom internal-users.ymll file)
Investigating.
Seems to be working …
@astateofmind If you use docker as a container then you can map a data volume for an OpenSearch container. This folder will hold all the indices including the security one.
Whenever you stop or restart the container, the data remains.
Yes but still I need to make the admin user not restricted.
Seems to be working after customizing the image.
@astateofmind I got a bit confused here. So you’re looking for a custom password during the docker container deployment.
If so, you can just mount the internal_users.yml file with a custom admin user and password as a volume. It will be used for initial configuration during the container deployment.
That could work too. Thanks.
I was looking for a solution to change the admin password after the install/deployment. Setting the user as not restricted did the trick.
