Issue

  • I would like to change my webserver login credentials.

Environment

  • Liferay PaaS

Resolution

  • By default, the webserver nginx.conf uses the .htpasswd file for user and password credentials which can be found under the webserver in /var/www/html/.htpasswd
  • To update the username or password,
    • Create a file titled .htpasswd in your local repository under webserver/configs/[env]/public.
    • Use the command htpasswd -nb user pass to generate the contents of the file using apache-md5 encryption.
    • Commit the file to the cloud repository.
    • Deploy the build.
