version openfire-3.6.3-1.i386.rpm
os: centos 5.2
database: mysql
I shut down the machine then re-start the machine, all the previous password for all the users not working any more
this situation happen before on my previous installation on another machine.
Search the forum, based on the previous posts,
I tried to re-set the admin password,
here is what I tried:
- edit /opt/openfire/conf/openfire.xml
change true to false
then /etc/init.d/openfire restart
it go through the installation again, and reset the “admin” password as “admin”
after finished the installation, the new password doesn't work for login [http://ipaddress:9090/](http://ipaddress:9090/) as user "admin"
but if I use spark to use “admin”, “admin”, the spark allows “admin” login
strange.
- then tried to go to mysql database
update openfire.ofUser set plainPassword = ‘admin’, encryptedPassword = null where username = ‘admin’
then restart the openfire service,
Here is another situation, I tried to install the openfire previous version before,
If I use mysqladmin to backup mysql database, and load the backup openfire database into another backup openfire server,
all the user passwords don’t work any more.
why ?
