Resetting Replicated Console Authentication

Introduction

If you lose the password for the Replicated management console for your Terraform Enterprise instance, you can reset it using the replicatedctl command-line tool. The Replicated console is accessible on port 8800 of the instance.

Prerequisites

• You have SSH access to the Terraform Enterprise instance.
• You have privileges to switch to the root user.

Procedure

1. Log into the Terraform Enterprise instance via SSH.

2. Switch to the root user.

   $ sudo su -

3. Run the replicatedctl console-auth reset command. This command removes the password from the Replicated console.

   # replicatedctl console-auth reset

4. Open a web browser and navigate to https://<TFE_HOSTNAME>:8800, replacing <TFE_HOSTNAME> with the hostname of your Terraform Enterprise instance. You will be logged in automatically.
5. In the top right corner, click the gear icon, then select Console Settings.
6. In the Security section, click the Change console security settings link.
7. On the new page, select the Password option and enter a new password.
8. Click Continue to save the new password.
9. Log out of the Replicated console and verify that you can log in successfully with the new password.
