Dashboards docs need initial password config update

Below is updated and accurate

For OpenSearch 2.12 or greater, customize the admin password in values.yaml under extraEnvs , as shown in the following example:

opensearch/helm-charts/charts/opensearch
extraEnvs:

  • name: OPENSEARCH_INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD
    value: “Strong1pass!”

Below needs update

opensearch/helm-charts/charts/opensearch-dashboards/values.yaml
opensearchHosts: “https://opensearch-cluster-master:9200”
opensearchUsername: “admin”
opensearchPassword: “Strong1pass!”

opensearch logs will show strongpass is required

Password admin! failed validation: “Password is too short”. Please re-try with a minimum 8 character password and must contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one digit, and one special character that is strong. Password strength can be tested here: zxcvbn tests

Hi @infodata,

the username is admin and the password is whatever you set as OPENSEARCH_INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD in your env variables when you were deploying.

Hope that helps.
Let me know if any further questions.

Best,
mj
