Change default OS password

Dradis Professional runs on Debian OS, with each new OVA generated with the latest LTS version of Debian. As such, if you want to change the password for the dradispro user, you can do so using passwd:

sudo passwd username

Change default database credentials

Updating the database credentials requires a few more commands.

1. In your terminal as dradispro:

   $ cd /opt/dradispro/dradispro/current/
   $ RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails dbconsole
   Enter password:

   If you are using Dradis on Docker, run instead:

   $ docker exec -it app bundle exec rails dbconsole

   Enter the default password.

2. In the MariaDB console, run the following:

   > SET PASSWORD FOR 'dradispro_db'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('new_password');

   Replace new_password with the desired password.

3. Lastly, the database.yml needs to be updated with the new password.
   1. Open the file /opt/dradispro/dradispro/current/config/database.yml
   2. Edit line 6 with the new password:

      password: new_password

   3. Save the file and restart the server with:

      $ god load /etc/god.d/dradispro-puma.god
      $ god restart

Now you're set with your own instance passwords.
