Change default admin password -- how?

Post by vskatusa »

Hi, I went into OPTIONS --> USERS and changed the password for user "admin" but when i access the ZM using the browser it does not ask me any username or password --- no authentication is done.....I did restart zm but not the ubuntu server....Any help would be appreciated

Solved!!!!

Enabling Authentication
Once at ZoneMinder's web interface, consider enabling authentication right away.

Click on the Options link on the top right corner
Access the System tab
Enable OPT_USE_AUTH (Authenticate user logins to ZoneMinder)
