Script to reset admin in WebUI

anatoly_techtonik · July 2, 2012, 5:14pm

I couldn’t find a way to reset WebUI password without curl, so I wrote
Python script:

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/techtonik/3034305

chef-webui-reset.py

"""Reset admin password in Chef Server WebUI by removing admin user from DB"""

# based on http://lists.opscode.com/sympa/arc/chef/2011-08/msg00151.html

import urllib2
import json

COUCHSERV = 'localhost:5984'
COUCHDB = 'http://' + COUCHSERV + '/chef/'

This file has been truncated. show original

From server:
wget https://gist.github.com/raw/3034305/bee78996a6cfc3e6c2345092a3a26ff79d0f7635/chef-webui-reset.py
python chef-webui-reset.py

Hopefully you’ll find it useful too.
