do you happen to know how to "reset" the mechanism that sets the admin password from

password.txt

? since my container image build-time warmup needs to query the admin (with a temporary password) but then needs a different password at container run-time, i've had trouble getting it to pick up that runtime admin password. IIRC, once lucee does the

password.txt

thing, it won't do it again.

@jamiejackson Did you try just removing the password attributes from the XML config files?

i'm pretty sure i was blanking out the temporary password in the xml after the build-time warmup. maybe i should peruse the lucee code to see what conditions trigger it to look for the

password.txt

Well, you can try that-- or try my suggestion 😉

Keeping in mind, there is a server XML file and a web XML file for every web context

right, that might be what i missed. i probably missed the server one.

@jamiejackson do you use commandbox? dotenv lets you put the admin password in there and it works every time

No, he's not 😉

one day, i might

only thing I can think of is to replace lucee-server.xml with one that has blank hspw and salt but you'd have to restart the server etc as well

yeah, i did that. and not just blank, but the attribute(s) need to be absent, not just blank values, due to a (reported) bug.

I had a run around to doing this and was editing hte wrong lucee-server.xml to delete the an existing password on a new spin up.
