Jhipster Registry Release 3.2.4 - can't change admin password - jhipster

Question

I'm using registry release 3.2.4 on Windows environnement (dev).
I want to change the default admin password.
According the documentation I just need to define security.user.password on my application-*.yml file.
So my central-config/application-dev.yml become
jhipster:
security:
authentication:
jwt:
secret: my-secret-token-to-change-in-production
registry:
password: admin123
I start my registry java -jar jhipster-registry/jhipster-registry-3.2.4.war --spring.profiles.active=swagger,dev,native (the parameter --spring.profiles.activeis set here just to be sure my config file is correctly load).
I try to connect on http://127.0.0.1:8761/#/ with admin user...but my new password doesn't work (just the default "admin" password still work).
When the registry launch, i've got these warnings
WARN 1152 --- [ main] c.n.c.sources.URLConfigurationSource : No URLs will be polled as dynamic configuration sources.
WARN 1152 --- [ main] o.s.j.e.a.AnnotationMBeanExporter : Bean with key 'zuulEndpoint' has been registered as an MBean but has no exposed attributes or operations
And when i try to connect, this warning
WARN 1152 --- [ XNIO-2 task-1] o.s.c.n.zuul.web.ZuulHandlerMapping : No routes found from RouteLocator
When i look the config load on my application, it's look all right
My cloud configuration
I try to add -e JHIPSTER_SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION_JWT_SECRET=my-secret-token-to-change-in-production and -e SECURITY_USER_PASSWORD=admin123 when i launch my registry, but still don't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Answer 1

Password has to be set in 2 places; in the application.yml of the registry and in the registry clients (the services and gateways) in their own bootstrap.yml because properties in central-config are read only once the app has been able to connect to the registry.
You can also set it in an environment variable SECURITY_USER_PASSWORD and use placeholders in those files to avoid exposing it in your git repo while managing it in a single place.

I just had to cope with the same issue with JHipster Registry 4.1.1. As the documentation and the command line option stated to use spring.security.user.password property I've updated my application.yml as follow
jhipster:
security:
authentication:
jwt:
secret: my-secret-token-to-change-in-production
spring:
security:
user:
password: admin1234
It works as expected for me.
