[v2.12.0] Ensure CI/documentation reflect changes to default admin credentials

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Background

Previously, when installing the security plugin demo configuration, the cluster was spun up with the default admin credentials, admin:admin. A change was made in main and backported to 2.x for the 2.12.0 release, which now requires an initial admin password to be passed in via the environment variable OPENSEARCH_INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD. This will break some CI/testing that relies on OpenSearch to come up without setting this environment variable. This tracking issue is to ensure compliance with the new changes.

Coming from: opensearch-project/security#3624

Acceptance Criteria

  • All documentation references to the old default credentials admin:admin are removed
  • Ensure that CI/testing is working with main and 2.x branches

closing since CI doesn't use these. users can run cypress with security manually, but they'll have to provide the credentials by changing the settings
