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.)

Change the password of an existing user

  1. Establish a connection to MongoDB via mongo CLI (use CMD or PowerShell)

    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)

  2. 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 with show dbs command

    PS C:\Users\fschenke> 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

  3. Switch to admin db with use admin

    > use admin
switched to db admin

  4. Use db.changeUserPassword() to change the password for the user logged in

    db.changeUserPassword("bvq", "NEW_PASSWORD")

    In this example password is changed to NEW_PASSWORD for user bvq

  5. After executing this command the password will be changed

    PS 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
