contextadmin passwort neusetzen

[thor]

Hallo,

ich würde gerne das Passwort für einen Contextadmin neusetzen. Habe bis jetzt nur gefunden wie man beim oxadminmaster und bei einem normalen User das Passwort neusetzt.

Gibt es dafür auch irgendein Tool?


Danke

Hi,

oxadmin is just a normal user. You can change its password like this:

/opt/open-xchange/sbin/changeuser -c 1 -A oxadmin -P oldpass -u oxadmin -p newpass

Das Problem ist, dass das Passwort vom contextadmin nicht mehr bekannt ist, deswegen funktioniert das changeuser nicht.

Hi,

this can be solved by disabling context authentication. Then you can manage the context and set passwords without authenticating as oxadmin.

/opt/open-xchange/etc/admindaemon/AdminDaemon.properties

CONTEXT_AUTHENTICATION_DISABLED=true

Restart the admindaemon after applying this change. Please read the description and reset the setting after finishing the task.

Greetings

Ok das hat soweit funktioniert, jedoch habe ich kein gutes Gefühl dabei die Authentifizierung auszuschalten. Gibt es noch eine andere Möglichkeit?

Zum Beispiel per MySQL die Passwörter händisch zuändern?

Hallo,

die Authentifizierung kannst du ja sofort nach der Änderung wieder anschalten. Weiterhin wirkt sich das nur auf lokale Administration aus, wer erst einmal soweit kommt... Die Passwörter kann man auch über die Datenbank setzen, jedoch wird das nicht supported.

Authentication problem

Hello, it's my first time, excuse me for any mistake.

I tried what you advised, but the answer seem the same:

#/opt/open-xchange/sbin/changeuser -c 1 -u oxadmin -p newpass
user oxadmin in context 1 could not be changed:
Server response:
 Authentication failed

I tried also:

#changeuser -c 1 -A oxadmin -u oxadmin -p newpass
#changeuser -c 1 -u roberto -p newpass

and disabling also MASTER_AUTHENTICATION_DISABLED=true

Obviously I restarted admindaemon and egroupware.

The system was working for a long time and is continuing working.

Hey there,

i have the absolut same problem as 7 vroby67 in the post above this one.

I've forgetten the passwort for oxadmin & oxadminmaster.
I've tried to disable the context authentication and the master authentication too - but no change.

I always get "Authentication failed"

[Martin Heiland]

The oxadminmaster password can be reset by just calling generatempasswd.

[Mausbiber]

password can be reset by just calling generatempasswd

Do what you say and i have called generatempassword - but what now? How can I reset the oxadmin Password without knowing the old one?
Trying

[root@oxserver ~]# changeuser -c 0 -A oxadminmaster -P newpassword -u oxadmin -p newpassword
user oxadmin in context 0 could not be changed:
Server response:

dont work.

I need to do some admin things in openxchange, so i need to reset the passwords of both.

please help ...

[Martin Heiland]

You may set CONTEXT_AUTHENTICATION_DISABLED = true at /opt/open-xchange/etc/AdminDaemon.properties, restart OX and just set a new oxadmin password using changeuser -c 1 -u oxadmin -p bla.

Remember to re-enable authentication afterwards.

Cheers
Martin
