Published Aug 17, 2022

Updated

Softing Secure Integration Server, edgeConnector, and edgeAggregator software ships with the default administrator credentials as admin and password as admin. This allows Softing to log in to the server directly to perform administrative functions. Upon installation or upon first login, the application does not ask the user to change the admin password. There is no warning or prompt to ask the user to change the default password, and to change the password, many steps are required.
