Is it really not possible to change the admin password in the web interface?
I’m using a docker compose setup. And immediately after the initial setup I started to look for the option to change that password in the web interface. But no luck so far and in the forum I only found some haywire way to change it.
Are the graylog devs really serious about this?
For the “root” (by default called admin) ie original admin account, yes thats set through the server.conf file, or passed to that file via your docker config values. We do this so you can never be fully locked out. Any account you make after this whether a user or admin is just a normal account and you set and change that password via the UI.
You could also avoid a lockout by checking for one last remaining admin in the web interface. There is no need to open a security hole for that.
