I need to change the Solr admin password

Use Case: I need to change the Solr admin password

Description:

Team:

I need to change the Solr admin password, as discussed in another question.

Thanks Marco for finding an article https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS353251

But it has at least two bugs in it:

• bad path for jetty-util. OK, I found that one level lower, in the ext directory.
• It says I should edit realm.properties, but I don't see any such file.

Do I need to edit realm.properties? Which directory should I put it in?

What is the correct xconfmanager command?

Here is the previous question

Thanks !

You are setting the password on the SOLR index server right? You are not finding the realm.properties there?

[rleir]

Correct.  It's possible that I was supposed to create solr/server/etc/realm.properties, and I did so (it's a one-line file if I understand what's needed).  But I did not manage to get authentication working with this.

The solution that worked for me: get rid of the Solr installation and re-install using PSI.  There is some magic behind the scenes, and it does not create a realm.properties file.

That is what I have done also when I screwed up the solr password.
