Could not create admin user for Camunda about homs

[dolfinus]

Hello.

If you use the latest Camunda image you can skip this step because user will be created automatically using credentials you've provided in environment variables.
Please sign in using BPM_USER:BPM_PASSWORD as username and password.

Hi @dolfinus. Thank you for responding to my issue.
I tried to sign in using kermit as username and kermit as the password (default BPM_USER:BPM_PASSWORD), but login fails (Wrong credentials or missing access rights to application).
What do you suggest I try next?

Note:
I am running this on a mac, with postgresql installed view brew (brew install postgresql).
Do I change the HOMS_DB_PATH and BPM_DB_PATH?

Thank you.

Can you please provide your docker-compose.yml and .env files?

[dolfinus]

I've just checked startup scripts and .env file examples again and found that in case then you set ADMIN_PASSWORD environment variable it is being used by both Camunda and Hydra OMS as password source. So you should try credentials kermit:changeme.

I was able to get past step 10 with this combination:
username: kermit
password: changeme

I guess we can update the steps in the README so others wouldn't run into the same issue?

Thanks a lot @dolfinus!

A quick grep of "BPM_PASSWORD" shows that its value is not used(?).

If ADMIN_PASSWORD is not set in .env, the admin password defaults to changeme

You are searching in wrong repo. Camunda is located here: https://github.com/latera/camunda-ext
