Basic authentication configured when running oh via Eclipse

Development IDE & Build
1

I followed this guide on how to setup Eclipse: Eclipse IDE | openHAB

  1. You can check that openHAB is running with your browser by going to: http://localhost:8080/ (the last / is important!)

When I visit this page, I get an HTTP basic authentication prompt. Where can I configure these credentials?

2

If you’ve previously setup openHAB in Eclipse and forgot your password you can use the “Console” view just like you’d use the Karaf Console and use:

openhab:users changePassword <userId> <newPassword> - changes the password of a user

To restart the initial setup wizard and create the initial user, remove all data from /launch/app/runtime/userdata before starting openHAB in Eclipse.

You might also want to check if it is really openHAB running on http://localhost:8080 and not some other application. I.e. stop openHAB and see if the application still prompts you for a password. If so, you’d probably also see stacktraces in the “Console” when starting openHAB telling you it cannot bind to the port because it is already in use:
