How do I change the Orthanc username and password?

Question:

How do I change the Orthanc username and password?

Answer:

There are 3 config files where the username/password needs to be changed:

1. Orthanc.json file located here: C:\Program Files\Orthanc Server\Configuration
2. Application.yaml file located here: C:\Program Files\IBA Dosimetry GmbH\myQA iON\config application.yaml
   Please note that a change in the application.yaml file might require a new clinical signature.
3. nginx.cong located here: C:\Program Files\IBA Dosimetry GmbH\myQA iON\nginx\nginx-1.19.8\conf.The username and password in the nginx.conf is base 64 encoded in the form of "username:password". A public encoder is e.g. https://www.base64encode.org/. Use only the following settings to encode a new password:
   
   
   
   Use your encoded username:password combination and replace b3J0aGFuYzpvcnRoYW5j in the nginx.conf file with your new combination.
   
   A restart of the Orthanc, iON and iON reverse proxy services is needed to apply the changes.
