[Exist-development] Problem with Security stuff....

[Andrzej J. T. <an...@ch...>]

It used to be that you could change the admin user's password using an ant task of the following
structure:

<exist:adduser failonerror="false" uri="${exist.url}/xmlrpc/db" user="anotherAdminUser"
password="anotherAdminUserPassword" name="admin" secret="newAdminPassword" home="/db"
primaryGroup="dba"/>

Now it errors with the following message:

[exist:adduser] XMLDB exception caught: Failed to invoke method addAccount in class
org.exist.xmlrpc.RpcConnection: you are not allowed to change this user

Why is it that we can no longer change the admin password in this way?  Leaving the admin password
unset is a bad idea, from a security perspective, and some of us want to be able to automate this
reset using Ant, as we've done in the past.

Thanks!
