What is the User password if not provided during creation?

Can user created without password login to Thingworx? If yes, what is his password?

I need to use custom authentification, so I am hopping that password login is not possible or password is some generated long secure string.

Regards JG.

At some point in the past, there was a requirement for a user to have a password to be able to login, even if the password within ThingWorx wasn't being used because LDAP was configured as a DirectoryService. This is why the LDAP documentation in KCS has advice on how to create a long, hard-to-break, password for LDAP users ported into ThingWorx in this way. This appears to only be relevant pre-7.4.

Now (7.4+), it appears that users cannot login via BasicAuthentication if a password is not set, even if a null password is given at login.I am fairly sure this would also apply to custom authenticators, but further investigation is required.

Hi Jan Gabriel​,

Please refer to the ThingWorx Installation Guide for the default Credentials.

Please make sure to change the password after first login.

I am not asking for default user credentials...

I simply need to know what is the password for user created without password in composer or programmatically?

Jan Gabriel​, Per my understanding; if the password is not set; it would contain some junk value.
