Caveats

When editing an installed feature’s configuration file to update that feature's password, ensure that you enter a plain text password. For example, you would do the following to change the password for the netconf-connector-all feature:

1. Navigate to the /opt/cisco/controller/etc/opendaylight/karaf directory and open 99-netconf-connector.xml in a text editor.

2. Locate the following line and enter the appropriate plain text password:

Open SDN Controller will automatically encrypt the new password and update the configuration file with the encrypted password.

Do not use the percent sign (%) in any password you configure. You will not be able to log in to Open SDN Controller with a password that contains this character.
