I am using apache-archiva-2.2.0 version. I lost the admin password so I want to reset the password of admin user.
I tried to reset the password through remove the below mentioned files.
./apache-archiva-2.2.0/data/databases/users/dbex.lck
./apache-archiva-2.2.0/data/databases/users/db.lck
But still it's asking for password post restart the service.
Database details-
<New id="users" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Resource">
<Arg>jdbc/users</Arg>
<Arg>
<New class="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSource">
<Set name="driverClassName">org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver</Set>
<Set name="url">jdbc:derby:<SystemProperty name="appserver.base" default=".."/>/data/databases/users;create=true</Set>
<Set name="username">sa</Set>
<Set name="maxActive">20</Set>
<Set name="removeAbandoned">true</Set>
<Set name="logAbandoned">true</Set>
<Set name="initialSize">5</Set>
<Set name="testOnBorrow">true</Set>
<Set name="validationQuery">select 1</Set>
</New>
</Arg>
</New>
Let me know how can I change the password?
I've done this by stopping archiva, deleting the users database at data/databases/users
, e.g.,
% pwd
/home/archiva/current/data/databases
% mv users{,.old}
and then starting archiva again.
Archiva will rebuild the users database and offer you the option to create a new admin user when it is back up.
If you'd like to disable password expiration entirely, follow the steps at https://serverfault.com/a/840545
it is working for me,
following steps,
1 . open /usr/local/apache-archiva-2.2.3/conf directory then open archiva.xml and change expiration like this
<expiration>
<enabled>false</enabled>
<days>90</days>
</expiration>
then restart archiva
