By default, the administration module is secured by the administrator logon credentials configured in the axis2.xml file in the Software AG_directory /profiles/CTP/workspace/wsstack/repository/conf directory. The default user name is admin and the default password is axis2. If you do not change the defaults, you may be exposed to a security threat through the administration module.

You can change the default user name with the userName parameter in the axis2.xml configuration file. To change the password, log on to the administration module and click Change Password in the administration page header. If the Web Services Stack configuration file cannot be modified by the web application, you see the message Password change is disabled. In this case, you must use the Web Services Stack Reset Password Utility, below.
