We are setting up a system where we need to re-verify a user's identify before he/she is allowed to perform a specific task. The user enters his/her password into the website, and then PHP runs kinit to verify that the password is correct. We use Kerberos for authentication. This is what we successfully tried on a Linux server:
echo "password123" | kinit username#REALM.COM
The problem is that the system is running on a Windows server. We have installed kinit, but cannot seem to get the same thing to work. Running that same command, with or without the quotes, just gives us this output:
kinit: Generic preauthentication failure while getting initial credentials
Any suggestions on what could be done here?
Edit:
Running simply "kinit" and then entering the password at the prompt, works well.
I created bitnami cassandra on EC2.
The documentation says that
The administrator user name is cassandra and you can get the password from the server dashboard for your server.
But it is not found when I get the system log.
I do find though a message that says
Not setting Bitnami application passwords
How to obtain the same?
Here are some more info: (default cassandra password is the same as application password)
https://docs.bitnami.com/virtual-machine/faq/#how-to-find-application-credentials
if you check this picture, you can see where you need to look:
https://docs.bitnami.com/images/img/platforms/virtual-machine/app-credentials-1bc7e819.png
For the bitnami-cassandra-3.10-0-linux-ubuntu-14.04.3-x86_64-ebs (ami-32a71751) image,
I found
default username : cassandra
default password: bitnami
It is not as per the documentation. I hope it might help who were facing the same issue.
Bitnami developer here,
If you launched the machine on EC2, you should follow this guide instead:
https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/faq/get-started/find-credentials/
You also could check the password by accessing via SSH and running:
sudo cat /opt/bitnami/var/log/pre-start.log | grep "application password"
User is cassandra by default.
I hope it helps
I have installed Postgres with Homebrew, and it didn't ask me to setup any username and password. Now I am having troubles connect the ruby project with db. I don't know what username and password to use in config file.
I checked my pg_hba.conf file, all methods are set to trust, and user is mostly set to all or my profile name.
When I start Rails, the server starts and then gives PG::ConnectionBad error.
I am new to Ruby and all this and would appreciate some help.
I am not sure if you checked any docs before posting, default user is postgres, but check if postgres service is running ps aux | grep postgres and follow this doc to perform all required setup. First steps are also worth your attention.
I am facing a problem:
Could not start Rsync service on Local Computer.
Error 1069: The service did not start due to a logon failure.
Can some body please help me on this?
During the installation, you may have seen where it prompted for a user-name and password with the default user-name and password already typed in. You need to change this to that of the user you are logged in as. If you are logged in as administrator then enter the admin credential
I need to recover/reset the admin password for JetBrain's TeamCity.
I have full RDP access to the server so no problems there. It's just been 2 months since we used it so now I have forgotten my login - my usual ones don't work.
It is setup without a database at the moment, so was hoping the usernames would just be in a file somewhere, but no luck finding it so far.
From TeamCity 8 you can log in as a super user and change the password that way. You just need to use an empty username and last occurrence of the "super user authentication token" found in the logs\teamcity-server.log file as your password.
Please see the following for more information:
TeamCity 8 - http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD8/Super+User
TeamCity 9 - http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD9/Super+User
TeamCity 10 - https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD10/Super+User
In case none of those works, see http://sebastienlachance.com/post/Resetting-TeamCity-Password.aspx.
Open a command prompt and go to \webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib folder. Now type the following :
..\..\..\..\jre\bin\java.exe -cp server.jar;common-api.jar;commons-codec-1.3.jar;util.jar;hsqldb.jar ChangePassword username newpassword
For TeamCity 6.5.4
From a command prompt in the [TeamCity install folder]\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib:
..\..\..\..\jre\bin\java -cp server.jar;common-api.jar;commons-codec-1.3.jar;util.jar;hsqldb.jar ChangePassword admin NewPassword
My username was 'admin' in my case (I think I set it during installation but I can't be sure).
I ommitted the path to TeamCity argument, it's smart enough to use the correct path (mine was c:\users\administrator.BuildServer)
When I provided the (wrong) path to TeamCity as an argument I received this message:
Using TeamCity configuration directory path: c:/TeamCity/.BuildServer
Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: Table not found in statement [UPDATE users SET PASSWORD = ? WHERE USERNAME = ? AND REALM IS NULL]

In case this confuses other people too.
Super user direct URL :
http://servername:port/login.html?super=1
Open TeamCity log folder (Example C: drive: C:\TeamCity\logs) : teamcity-server.log, find the key: “Super user authentication”
[2019-03-04 12:14:30,770] INFO - jetbrains.buildServer.SERVER - Super user authentication token: `8347518935696887114` (use empty username with the token as the password to access the server)
You could try to reset the installation of TeamCity, by removing TeamCity data directory ($/.BuildServer directory by default)
Try the following:
First stop the TeamCity service (would also stop the build agent if installed).
Next open up a console, go to your java directory and run the following command from there:
java.exe -cp server.jar; hsqldb.jar ChangePassword USERNAME PASSWORD "PATH_TO_YOUR_TEAMCITY_INSTALLATION".BuildServer
I've just had to go through this pain with v5 EAP.
I managed to reset the password successfully by running:
C:\TeamCity\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib>..\..\..\..\jre\bin\java -cp server.jar;common-api.jar;commons-codec-1.3.jar;util.jar;hsqldb.jar ChangePassword admin password c:\TeamCity\.BuildServer
Although you'll need to substitute C:\TeamCity with wherever your installation is located.
In case this helps someone else, whoever installed TeamCity on my server placed the build directory under the Administrator's Profile, not in C:\TeamCity.
Specifically for TeamCity running on Tomcat on Windows it will be C:\ProgramData\JetBrains\TeamCity
The directory specified as the last parameter needs to be your Data Directory (find in /logs/teamcity-server.log)
You'll get the 'Table not found' error if you don't have this correct.
You'll get a 'The database is already in use' error if you've got TeamCity running.
you can also search you /logs/teamcity-server.log to see whether you created admin, administrator, or some other admin user name.
For everyone that may arrive at this article years after the original answer like I just did, there's a built-in super user account, and the password is regenerated every time team city is started, and the password is in the log. You can use this super user to login and reset any passwords. It's super easy.

TeamCity always uses a database - if you haven't explicitly configured one, it uses a HSQLDB database to store data internally.
When using an external database, user information is stored within that database, so it seems pretty likely that the user information in your case will be stored within the HSQLDB system.
You might be able to gain access to the system by futzing around with the database - but I'd suggest taking a backup first.
Second suggestion - drop the support guys at JetBrains an email. Even before my workplace splashed out on a TeamCity Enterprise license, their support was superb - fast, accurate and helpful.
With TeamCity 5 using MySQL (probably other versions and RDBMs as well, but untested), it's possible to update the password directly via SQL:
mysql> update users set password = md5("mypass123") where username = "bob";
Nevertheless, I'd stick with the CLI versions already mentioned by others if there isn't a good reason not to do so.
First point is if you logout the login screen has the username 'TCAdmin' already filled in, when it should be 'administrator'. TCAdmin is the full name of (I think) the default version 5 admin user. Changing that to administrator and then using the password I thought it was solved my issue.
For resetting...
In case it helps someone else on Windows XP on version 5 of TeamCity, my .BuildServer config info was also under my current logged in user's documents and settings folder. Also I was tripped up by a space in the list of jar files in Sebastien's good answer above.
So I changed to this directory in a command prompt:
c:\teamcity\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib
and then this command line (to set password: Password1) worked for me:
C:\TeamCity\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib>..\..\..\..\jre\bin\java.exe -cp server.jar;commonapi.jar;commons-codec-1.3.jar;util.jar;hsqldb.jar ChangePassword administrator Password1
Which gave output:
Using TeamCity configuration directory path: C:/Documents and Settings/tamw/.BuildServer
Password changed successfuly
Stop teamcity
You should pass path to your buildserver
e.g. if you installed build server to dir "c:\.BuildServer"
........\jre\bin\java.exe -cp server.jar;common-api.jar;commons-codec-1.3.jar;util.jar;hsqldb.jar ChangePassword username newpassword c:\.BuildServer
To change user password:
Shutdown server
Switch to the /webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib directory
Invoke the following command:
Windows platform:
java -cp server.jar;common-api.jar;commons-codec-1.3.jar;util.jar;hsqldb.jar ChangePassword
Unix platform:
java -cp server.jar:common-api.jar:commons-codec-1.3.jar:util.jar:hsqldb.jar ChangePassword
You can skip the option, if you are using default path for TeamCity data files: /.BuildServer
[Ref: http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD7/Changing+user+password+with+default+authentication+scheme]
Here's what worked for me.
Shut down server services
> cd c:\TeamCity\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib>
then
> ..\..\..\..\jre\bin\java.exe -cp server.jar ;common-api.jar;commons-codec-1.3.jar;util.jar;hsqldb.jar ChangePassword admin password1 C:\ProgramData\JetBrains\TeamCity\
Without the path at the end, it would fail with:
Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: Table not found in statement [
UPDATE users SET PASSWORD = ? WHERE USERNAME = ? AND REALM IS NULL]

We are using Teamcity 7 with MS SQL Server as the RDBMS.
To reset your password you can use the following query:
UPDATE users SET password = LOWER(SUBSTRING(sys.fn_sqlvarbasetostr(HASHBYTES('md5','your_new_password')),3,32))
where username = "your_user_name";
Alternatively, You could use the TeamCity Server Log and retrieve the Super User token.
Using the token, go to the URL : http://(server):(port)/login.html?super=1
ie: http://localhost:92/login.html?super=1
Once you logged in, you could always create a new user or reset the password for the account in question.
I passed in the same situation and did login with super user, follow steps below:
1 - Get Token in the "teamcity-server.log" in the path "XX:\TeamCity\logs";
2 - Access and login using token at url: "/login.html?super=1";
