Use Nexus 3 API to change admin password

I would like to use the Nexus 3 api to change the admin default password as well as the email address using groovy. But I don't understand how to set the password using the groovy api. Can someone provide an example of how to do this?

Solution

  • I originally thought changePassword was deprecated, but I was mistaken. Here is an example of updating admin email address and changing the password:

    def user = security.securitySystem.getUser('admin')
user.setEmailAddress('admin@mycompany.com')
security.securitySystem.updateUser(user)
security.securitySystem.changePassword('admin','admin456')
