[Geoserver-users] request for assistance on bug for geoserver/geonode

Hello all,
we are running to a security problem using Geonode 2.0 and the default version of geoserver (part of the geonode instalation), which is 2.4.
The issues is place also on: https://github.com/GeoNode/geoserver-geonode-ext/issues/15 from January 2014.
The issue is that we cannot change the default password of geoserver (it allows change, but it keeps the old password as well).
Anyone running similar issue?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Lubomir

I assume you are talking about the password of the admin user.

Please take a look into

security/usergroup/default/users.xml

There is an XML element called with attributes name and password. What do you see ?

Cheers
Christian

Hi Christian,
thanks for taking the time to reply.

This is the file you are referring to. We tried to disable the default admin user, but still we can login with the default password (and the geonode password as well). Geoserver version is 2.4 (the snapshot, used for Geonode 2.0). We tried with geoserver 2.5, but the result is the same. We tried on Ubuntu 12.4/12.5 and Debian, but the result is the same. We follow step by step the instruction of the geonode site.

Hi Lubomir

Quite strange. Please can you check if the value of

password=“crypt1:Z22ZwbZyJpL3kt3rZrM3PmY38jsMFYdx”

changes if you change the password of the admin user. (Note, the value change is independent of a password change because we use a salt. Saving the password “geoserver” two times will result into two different values).

Next, you can switch to the plain text password encoder (you have to change the settings in the default user/group service). Change the password and you should see the result in plain text

password=“plain:mynewpasswordf”

I think this is the best way to resolve the problem. (After resolving, switch back to the digest encoder).

Cheers
Christian

I believe that GeoNode is setting up its own user/role source when integrating with GeoServer,
so it may be that changing the GS config files does nothing.
Mind, this is just a hunch, there’s a good chance I’m wrong here
