Outreachy Contribution to Foreman

Hello

I am an engineering student from DAIICT, India and a willing Outreachy
participant.
I checked out the project offered by Foreman and find Foreman-as-a-Service
really interesting. I have built Foreman on my system , but facing an
issue: I am unable to login into it using admin/changeme as suggested here
<Foreman :: Contribute>
How can I get to know my current password?

I am new to Foreman and Open Source itself, so any guidance on how should I
proceed next and where to begin would be great help! :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Aditi Bhatnagar

Oops, that's an error in the instructions. It should print a random
password out when you ran the "rake db:seed" step - this changed a while
ago. If you don't have the output any more, don't worry. Run "rake
permissions:reset" and it will print a new one out.

A great place to begin might be to fix those instructions!

They're held at https://github.com/theforeman/theforeman.org, so you can
git clone that repository and send a pull request
(https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) to fix the
contribute.md file in the base of the repo.

You can do that with either a command line git client, or in the GitHub
web UI by clicking the edit button in the top-right corner when viewing
the file. It'd be good practice to use the git client if you're
unfamiliar with it.

Cheers,

Hey,

I also faced similar issue. Login using admin/changeme not working for me.
Disable ":login" in settings.yaml page then it will not ask for login. I
know its temporary.

changeme hasn't been the default password for some time - the default
password is now randomly generated by the installer and printed to the
console when the installer finishes running. You can also use "foreman-rake
permissions:reset" to reset it.
