How to change management interface login/password?

[gbmaster]

The default login/password for VSAN is root/starwind, and this is published everywhere.

For security reasons, I want to change the default login/password. Could somebody tell me how to do this, or point me at the right document?
Sorry for the dumb question!

Connect to the StarWind server using the StarWind Management Console, select the server in the left pane and proceed with the steps as shown in the picture:

if you want to do it on PowerShell you can use the following functions:

$server.GetServerParameter("<name>")
$server.SetServerParameter("<name>", "<value>")

name = "Password" in this case

raw format: "##" + ToBase64(MD5(password))

original: "##evVRsIJtRmAEEd2sCslZDg==" from "starwind"

$server.SetServerParameter("Password", "##iBYllcWJOcSuCzXzmJLm5w==") to change password to "new_password"

Sekkmer,

Thanks for providing the other option to perform that.

Hi Sekkmer,

Thank you for providing the information. Is there some documentation or other source we can look to so we can find out what the server parameters are? I have looked online and in the StarwindX samples, and I cannot seem to find any mention of which server parameters are available to retrieve/set.

Thanks,
Reshad

Well, there is no documentation for this but you can look into the logs and at the beginning of it you can find a list of them but I am not sure if they are complete or not.

I made a class in C# which implement all of these trough reflection (region IValues):

Or here is a list of them:

Sekkmer,
Thank you for your researches and for keeping the community updated.

Can anyone explain ho you get
"##evVRsIJtRmAEEd2sCslZDg==" from "starwind"

Tried using this
raw format: "##" + ToBase64(MD5(password))

Md5 of starwind is 7af551b0826d46600411ddac0ac9590e

Then convert it to base64

N2FmNTUxYjA4MjZkNDY2MDA0MTFkZGFjMGFjOTU5MGU=

Then ##+
##N2FmNTUxYjA4MjZkNDY2MDA0MTFkZGFjMGFjOTU5MGU=

Or I am missing something?

What you need to do is generating the suitable encryption yourself to simulate the way StarWind Management Console does it.
