[OPEN-ILS-DEV] VMWare Image passwords

[Greg Pendlebury]

Thanks Dan,

I know root/openils doesn't work because I've tried that, but sudo'ing
up, then down to postgres is something I didn't think of, and it did
solve my problem.

And the need was slightly more detailed then just the db
username/password. I actually wanted to bind postgres to listen
externally for an IDE connection instead of just localhost for a server
connection. But the conf file is read only to all but postgres and root.

Thanks,

Hi Greg:

The wiki page for the Debian image
(http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=vmware:debian) says:

userid: root
password: openils

The wiki page for the Ubuntu image
(http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=server:1.2:ubuntu804:readme)
says:

user ID: evergreen
password: evergreen

So on Debian, when you log in you're already root. On Ubuntu, you can
become root by issuing the command "sudo su -" and supplying the
"evergreen" user's password (which is evergreen).

Once you're root, you can become the postgres user by issuing the
command "su - postgres".

If you're looking for the username and password to connect to the
database, take a look at the credentials in /openils/conf/opensrf.xml
