By default there is only 1 user created during the installation process of BVQ. You can modify the user & password in the repository installer within the DB access screen.
This user afterwards is used by the BVQ services & UIs to connect to the database. Whenever you change the password of the user remeber to change it in the other BVQ modules (GUI DB connection profile, etc.)
Connect to MongoDB with mongo CLI
Establish a connection to MongoDB via mongo CLI (use CMD or PowerShell) (see https://docs.mongodb.com/v3.4/reference/program/mongo/)
mongo --authenticationDatabase admin -u bvq -p P@ssw0rd
(default location of binaries = C:\Program Files\SVA\BVQ\bvq-mongodb\bin, put in PATH variable to access from outside the directory
change username -u and password -p to your credentials)
Change the password of an existing user
Establish a connection to MongoDB via mongo CLI (see Connect to MongoDB with mongo CLI)
The user information is configured globally for the entire MongoDB within the
admin
DB, so you have to switch to this DB.
List existing dbs withshow dbs
commandPS C:\Users\XXX> mongo --authenticationDatabase admin -u bvq -p P@ssw0rd MongoDB shell version v3.4.4 connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017 MongoDB server version: 3.4.4 > show dbs admin 0.000GB bvq 0.401GB local 0.000GB
Switch to admin db with
use admin
> use admin switched to db admin
Use
db.changeUserPassword()
to change the password for the user logged in (see https://docs.mongodb.com/v3.4/reference/method/db.changeUserPassword/)db.changeUserPassword("bvq", "NEW_PASSWORD")
In this example password is changed to
NEW_PASSWORD
for userbvq
After executing this command the password will be changed
