Steps to Update Default Admin Password

1. Create a secret with the new admin password:

   kubectl create secret generic CUSTOM_SECRET_NAME --from-literal=username=wpsadmin --from-literal=password=CUSTOM_ADMIN_PASSWORD --namespace=dxns
   

   Replace the following:
   • CUSTOM_SECRET_NAME with the name of the secret.
   • CUSTOM_ADMIN_PASSWORD with the new admin password.

2. Update the values.yaml file with secret name and do a Helm upgrade.

   security:
     webEngine:
       webEngineUser: "wpsadmin"
       webEnginePassword: "WEB_ENGINE_PASSWORD"
       customWebEngineSecret: "CUSTOM_SECRET_NAME"
   

   • Replace CUSTOM_SECRET_NAME with the name of the secret created in step 1.

   • Replace WEB_ENGINE_PASSWORD with the new admin password.

   • Make sure either provide customWebEngineSecret or webEngineUser & webEnginePassword.

Note: To apply the updated password, a server restart is required.
