In the NMIS configuration you can configure multiple methods which are used for auth failure, so if ms-ldap fails, it will fail back to htpasswd for example. This means if you set auth_method_1 to be ldap and authand auth_method_2 to be htpasswd, and login with the default NMIS credentials (and you have not changed the password), the authentication for LDAP will fail, and then authentication with the users.dat will succeed and the user will be logged in. The limit for different auth_method variables is 3.
It is important to change your default passwords if you expect any level of security.

Both the Cookie Type (or flavour) and Authentication Secret (or key) settings can be changed using the Basic Setup dialog, or the NMIS Configuration dialog (they're in section "authentication").
To gather the Opmantek application secret, you can either open /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.nmisjson with an editor (look for omkd_secrets), or you can ask the patch_config tool for the value of that setting, like in the following example:
| Code Block |
|---|
$ /usr/local/omk/bin/patch_config.exe -r /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.nmisjson /omkd/omkd_secrets[0] CHANGE_ME_askdfal2332lkwjflk |
