What is the default password of 'system' in Jhipster - jhipster

What's the default password of 'system' in Jhipster? I only have seen the default passwords for admin and user but not the default password for the system. I could not find it in the jhipster docs as well. Thanks.

I'm fairly sure JHipster don't provide this for you. If you really want to gain access to the system account then just create a new user with the password you want. Copy the hashed password for the new user in the database and copy it into the system password part of the .ddl file with the default JHipster accounts defined in it and then rebuild your database.

How to reset autogenerated Kentico passwords on first use?

When you click on the 'Generate new password' button, on Kentico's 'User' application's Password tab.
The password is sent out in clear text via email. We want users to change their password the first time they login. Is there any suggestions on how to achieve this?
We use Kentico 11's with ASPX template and I have access to the code and database. I've checked the documentation and there is no built in setting to do this.
Thanks
Another option would be setting some passwords for the users and then setup either password expiration or password policy - so the passwords will not meet one of these and they will be asked to change the password using the password reset.
Create their accounts and set their passwords to a very strong password.
Have the users click "forgot password". This will force the user to change their password, and they won't be able to log in until they go through that process.

JHipster "anonymoususer" login

I generated a monolithic application using JHipster and it has by default generated some users for me (admin,system,user and anonymoususer) "anonymoususer". I tried to log in with anonymoususer but I can't because I don't have the password. Can anyone tell me the purpose of this user?
By default, JHipster comes with 4 different users:
“system”, who is mainly used by our audit logs, when something is done automatically
“anonymousUser”, who is given to anonymous users when they do an action
“user”, who is a normal user with “ROLE_USER” authorization. His default password is “user”
“admin”, who is an admin user with “ROLE_USER” and “ROLE_ADMIN” authorizations. His default password is “admin”

Best practice for verifying a GitLab user?

Given I have a existing project and I want to add an external GitLab user to the project.
The user can enter his/her GitLab username (and additional fields if needed) in a UI.
What is the best practice to verify that the user is valid and that the user is the real owner of the entered account over the GitLab API?
This should also support external login methods (GitHub, ...).

Is it possible to set an existing couchdb user as admin?

I know you can create new admin users via PUT $HOST/_config/admins/username -d '"password"'.
However, what if I have an existing user from the _users database and I want to add it to the
admin party?
The main problem here is that I don't know that user's password.
Thanks in advance,
Andres
Since the documents in the _users database contain password hash fields (derived_key, password_scheme, salt, password_sha, iterations) the hashes can be reused to create an admin using the raw=true parameter.
The hashed admin password format for PBKDF2 is as seen in the source code:
-pbkdf2-derivedkey,salt,iterations
For the SHA1 it is not quite clear which one is the hash and which one is the salt. Just try.
Note that the admin hashes are not stored in the _users database for a reason and reusing a password that was once exposed in this manner for an admin might be a bad idea security-wise.

What hash algorithm is being used by #Password formula?

Does anyone know what hash algorithm is being used by #Password formula? My client keeps user accounts in standalone LDAP server. They need to sync passwords from LDAP to Domino internet password in person documents. We are trying to find a way how to accomplish this having only hashed version of password in LDAP. If Domino #Password would use some known hash algorythm like MD5, SHA etc. we can store password in LDAP this way and simply replace it in person documents.
Any idea here?
The following link is the public details on the Encryption methods in Domino.
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/domhelp/v8r0/topic/com.ibm.help.domino.admin.doc/DOC/H_NOTES_AND_DOMINO_ENCRYPTION_2250_OVER.html
Depending on how you have your server set up, using #Password may not work. The administrator can set "Use more secure Internet passwords" option.
This generates a personalised salt for each user in the $SecurePassword field of the person document (the field is protected as well). To correctly hash the password in this instance you need to use #Hashpassword. If the administrator knows what they are doing then the related password fields will be locked down by the xACL to prevent external access (for security reasons).
It is a little unclear what you are trying to achieve though. You can use Directory Assistance in Domino to authenticate against a third party LDAP.
