AEM 6.3: How to set admin password on initial startup


AEM 6.3: How to set admin password on initial startup


There are 2 different ways to set the admin password as part of the initial installation.
  1. First, set the system property “admin.password” to your desired password.
    • For example add “-Dadmin.password=mypassword” to the JVM parameters.
  2. Second, set the system property “admin.password.file” and pass as value the path to a file. 
    • when this file is accessible by the AEM instance and the contains the line “admin.password=myAdminPassword“, this value will be used as admin password.
FYI, this only works on the initial startup. On all subsequent startups these system properties are ignored; and you should probably remove them or at least purge the file in case of second.

CQ Page Properties from Javascript

To get CQ page properties inside javascript you can use core CQ JS API. It can be convenient if you need to get this information inside your custom JS widgets.              var pageData = CQ.HTTP.get(CQ.HTTP.externalize(CQ.utils.WCM.getPagePath() + "/jcr:content.json")); After that you can retrieve any property you need (assuming it's present in JCR):              var resourceType = pageData ? CQ.Util.formatData(CQ.HTTP.eval(pageData))['sling:resourceType'] : null; Please do not overuse it because it invokes additional ajax call to server. It's OK to use it in edit mode on author instance.
