How do I set the username and password for the HiveMQ UI using config.xml in 4.x?

I have the following...

<control-center>
  <users>
    <user>
      <name>admin</name>
      <password>7ca94b7c56a07d5a65383a7692f3811a25f6ce67ef648e4ceec750beb1dc43bb</password>
    </user>
  </users>
</control-center>

The idea being it should be admin as the username and TestPassword as the password. I get the hash via

me@yoda:~$ echo -n adminTestPassword | sha256sum
7ca94b7c56a07d5a65383a7692f3811a25f6ce67ef648e4ceec750beb1dc43bb  -

But when I restart the server the web ui (8080) still uses admin hivemq

enter image description here

What am I missing?

That's absolutely correct!

In order to use only newly created credentials, the tag must be set to false within the Control Center config tag - the specifics on this can be found in the HiveMQ Control Center documentation here : https://docs.hivemq.com/hivemq/latest/control-center/configuration.html#user-configuration

XML Configuration Example

Feel free to let us know if you have any additional questions either here, or on the HiveMQ Community Forum - we are always happy

Best, Aaron from the HiveMQ Team

It seems the issue is without disabling the default user like...

<default-user-enabled>false</default-user-enabled>

you can't use the username admin I changed to adminUser and everything worked fine.
