This articles describes how to change some of the 'out of the box' settings on the VisibleThread server.

VisibleThread Administration site username and password 

Note: This only applies to VT Docs v4.4.3 and below. In VT Docs v5+, there is no https://your-visiblethread-server/sandboxAdmin URL and the system is administered by a System Admin user managed by the VT Docs application. There is no longer a default username/password for VT Docs v5+

The VisibleThread administration site is protected by a username and password.

On initial deployment the credentials for this page are username: ‘visiblethread’ password: ‘password’. These can be modified by logging in to the VisibleThread virtual appliance console and changing the settings in the following file:

Ubuntu:

 /home/visiblethread/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml

Red Hat:

 /opt/visiblethread/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml

1. In a text editor, modify the following line to change the username and password:

    

    <user username="visiblethread" password="password" roles="vtdeploymentadmin"/> 

2. Save the file and exit the editor

3. Restart the VisibleThread application by typing the following at the command line:

    

   Ubuntu:

   /home/visiblethread/VisibleThreadTools/vt-restart-server.sh

   Red Hat:

   sudo systemctl restart visiblethread-docs
