Recover from a Forgotten Recovery Username / Password

If you lose the recovery username or password, you can use database queries to manually reset the recover account credentials, or you can disable Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).

• If you have access to the Mirth® Connect database, manually reset the recovery account credentials. To reset the recovery username and password:
  1. Connect to the database by using the connection information in the database.url entry in the /conf/mirth.properties file in the Mirth® Connect home folder.
     database.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/mirthdb
  2. Execute the following queries to set the recovery username to recovery and also set the password to recovery:

     UPDATE configuration SET value = 'recovery' WHERE name = 'recoveryUsername' AND category = 'LDAP Authorization';

      UPDATE configuration SET value = '2pHwAZ0tv+cNN696FQ8y6t6sLl8IeknuIOh9327Nvmt+kMeDh2s4zQ==' WHERE name = 'recoveryPassword' AND category = 'LDAP Authorization';

     Note: If the digest.algorithm setting in mirth.properties is set to something other than SHA256 (the default), you should change the hashed password used in the above query to a password that is hashed using the specified custom hash algorithm.
  3. Restart the Mirth® Connect server, log on to the Mirth® Connect administrator, and change the recovery user password to the desired value.
• To disable LDAP, execute the following query:
  DELETE FROM configuration WHERE category = 'LDAP Authorization';
