Username and Password Missing after Logoff and Shutdown?
Hello, all! Earlier today, I changed a small number of records to my library's catalog. I changed both authority records and bibliographic records. Then I logged out and ran the updates and upgrades (#sudo apt update) and (#sudo apt upgrade) on our Linux box. Finally, I shut down the Linux box. A few hours later, I rebooted the Linux box. Koha solicited me for my username and password, the ones in koha-conf.xml. I found them in /etc/koha/sites/LIBRARY/koha-conf.xml. I have typed them multiple times, only to be rebuffed every time. What did I do wrong? How can we reset the username and password? Fortunately, I have cloned a backup right before I began working on the most recent changes, so I have lost only a few hours of work. I'll have to reenter the changes I made, but to paraphrase an old aphorism, "If you live by technology, you die by technology." -- 気を付けて。 /ki wo tukete/ = Take care. -- Charles.

Hi Charles, The credentials from the koha-conf.xml file cannot be used to login into Koha. Use your regular user. Or use the misc/devel/create_superlibrarian.pl script to create a superlibrarian user. Regards, Jonathan Le mar. 17 nov. 2020 à 04:03, Charles Kelley <cmkelleymls@gmail.com> a écrit :

I tried superlibrarian. Failure. If it happens again -- it has happened several times over the last week or so -- I'll try my regular user. By the way, it's Koha 20.05 on Debian Stretch. Or use the misc/devel/create_superlibrarian.pl script to create a
superlibrarian user.
Suppose we already have a superlibrarian, and we sign in as tim. What happens to the already existing superlibrarian? Is this the complete path? I'm new to the Linux environment, and I know from experience that if you miss a slash in the beginning of the path, you get something else. Thank you for the help.

Hi Charles, As far as I know, you can have as many superlibrarians as you want--it just depends on what your budget for red capes is.* In our system, 60% of our staff are superlibrarians. And before you all let out a collective gasp, that's three accounts out of five. *Actually, you don't need a red cape.

Yes, of course. I was just wondering what would happen to the current superduper.
*Actually, you don't need a red cape.
We budgeted for a few. I think we'll get one. -- 気を付けて。 /ki wo tukete/ = Take care. -- Charles.

Nothing. Stays dormant. Usually what most of my users do is to create a new superlibrarian acct, log in using the new account, change the old superlibrarian password, log out and log in back with the earlier account with its reset password. Hope this helps Indranil
