[GeoNode-devel] Geoserver retains old admin passwords

[Alessio Fabiani]

Hello Jonathan,
GeoServer makes use of two different Authentication types: Basic Auth (used
by the backend for the import operations and changes to the catalog),
GeoNode-Cookies Auth (used to provide access to the GeoServer resources to
the GeoNode users).

In order to change the GeoServer Basic Auth admin password, you must login
into the GeoServer page using an admin user, go to Security > User, Roles,
... and manually update the admin user password.

Best Regards,
Alessio Fabiani.
