I am trying to log into Webtop Admin with the user "Administrator" and I don't remember the password. How do I change that password?:confused:

I am not sure which Webtop version are you using (4.1, 8.4 etc)

Refer to the Infor_WebTop_8_4_SP1_-_Install_and_Config_Guide

Document code: U8715E US
Release: Infor WebTop 8.4 SP1 for ERP LN
Publication date: October 07

Appendix B B Instructional Deployment Examples

3 Create a configuration file "webtop.xml" to specify a new context for Tomcat, and save it in the "/opt/webapps", or "C:\webapps", directory. The file must contain the following:

<Context docBase="/opt/webapps/webtop">
<Parameter name="WebtopAdminPassword"
value="TopSecret"
override="false"/>
<Parameter name="WebtopConfigPath"
value="/opt/webapps/config"
override="false"/>
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
prefix="localhost_webtop."
suffix=".txt"
timestamp="true" />
</Context>

The file looks almost exactly like in the example. Unfortunately changing the values didn't help to reset/change the admin password.

I guess the password is saved as an encrypted file on the server. Is there any other possibility to reset the password? For some unknown reasons we cannot login the administrator console after changing the Baan server. The user login works fine.

For the first time the webtop-password is webtop.
I always reset the tomcat-service after changing the password (to avoid caching-troubles).
To reset the password you have to replace the webtopproperties.xml from the original webtop.war.

hope that helps,Martin

Thanks for the quick answer. After extracting the war-file I didn't find a file with the name "webtopproperties.xml". Did you mean "webtop.xml"?

Hello,
yes - webtop.xml

We have replaced the file but it still doesn't work... Is there maybe an additional step necessary?

Edit:

After checking several files (i.e loginserver.class) we have found out that one has to check the files "webtop.xml" and "webtopproperties.xml" on the server. In the file "webtop.xml" the admin's password is saved in plain text. In the file "webtopproperties.xml" the encrypted admin password property can be found. After deleting the encrypted password property we were able to login without problems using the old password. After logging in again we have changed the password through Webtop menu to another one and after saving it the property variable in "webtopproperties.xml" has been filled again.

The both files can be found in

/opt/SSA/WebTop/tomcat/webapps/webtop.xml

and

/opt/SSA/WebTop/config/WebtopProperties.xml

I think the encryption feature was added in the newer Webtop Versions.

Why tweak into the server side files when you can change password from the Webtop Administration servlet?

Why? Because without knowing the old password or without the ability to log in (because of whatever error) you cannot change the password through admin menu...
