Valid for Datafari 5.2+

The default user for Apache proxy is : admin

admin : global admin user that can access to any application protected by the Apache proxy : Solr and Zeppelin for all versions of Datafari, Glances and Monit for Enterprise edition


The default password is the password defined during the installation of Datafari


When you install Datafari, you define a global admin password for Datafari web app and the same password is also affected to the user admin for the Apache proxy ie when you want to access to Solr admin pages or Zeppelin admin pages (analytics dashboards).

If you want to change the password for this account, you can modify it directly in the Admin UI of Datafari. Go to Admin → User Management → Manage Datafari Web Services Users.



See this page : Change the Datafari passwords



Valid for Datafari 4.4 to 5.1

The default users for Apache proxy are :

apacheadmin : global admin user that can access to any application protected by the Apache proxy (Solr, ELK)

solradmin : Solr admin that can only access to the Solr application protected by the Apache proxy

elkadmin : ELK admin that can only access to the ELK application protected by the Apache proxy

The default password for ALL accounts is the password defined during the installation of Datafari


When you install Datafari EE, you define a global admin password for Datafari web app and the same password is also affected to Apache proxy ie when you want to access to Solr admin pages or ELK admin pages (analytics dashboards).

For security reasons, we have created separate users, as mentionned in the above Info bubble. You may want to change their respective passwords for additional security.

If you want to change the password for any of these accounts, you can modify it directly in the Admin UI of Datafari. Go to Admin → User Management → Manage Datafari Web Services Users.

See this page : Change the Datafari passwords



Valid for Datafari 4.3

When you install Datafari EE, you define a global admin password for Datafari web app and the same password is also affected to Apache proxy ie when you want to access to Solr admin pages or ELK admin pages (analytics dashboards).

For security reasons, it can be better to have multiple users : keep the global admin user that can access to any pages on Apache and add an user that only can access to Solr pages and add another user only for ELK pages.

 In order to do so, you have to run a shell script. It is located in /opt/datafari/ssl-keystore/apache/config. Its name is addUsersApache.sh.

If you have Datafari 4.3, the script is attached to this page. Just add it into /opt/datafari/ssl-keystore/apache/config and add executable permissions on it : chmod u+x addUsersApache.sh. You can now follow the next instructions.

Starting from Datafari 4.3.1 the script is already present in Datafari.


To run it (with root user) :

cd /opt/datafari/ssl-keystore/apache/config

bash addUsersApache.sh

The script will ask you if you want to add ELK user and/or Solr user. Then choose a password for the account that you want to create.

You can also change the password for admin user. If you do so, you need at the end to manually edit the file /opt/datafari/apache/password/htpasswd and delete the first entry that mentions the admin user (admin:datafari)

When you finish, restart Apache service : 

service apache2 restart on Debian or apachectl restart on CentOS/RedHat


How to access the different pages ?

If you want to access with the elk user, the login is : elkadmin

If you want to access with the Solr user, the login is : solradmin
