Configure camunda.bpm.admin-user.password programmatically

chylomicronman · October 2, 2020, 2:20am

I want to configure camunda.bpm.admin-user.password without supplying it in a configuration file and instead use the java API (by overriding at app startup with @configuration or by defining a spring bean) as detailed here

github.com

camunda/camunda-docs-manual/blob/master/content/user-guide/spring-boot-integration/configuration.md#adding-additional-configurations

title: "Process Engine Configuration"
weight: 20

menu:
  main:
    name: "Configuration"
    identifier: "user-guide-spring-boot-configuration"
    parent: "user-guide-spring-boot-integration"

---

The auto starter uses the  `org.camunda.bpm.engine.impl.cfg.ProcessEnginePlugin` mechanism to configure the engine.

The configuration is divided into _sections_. These _sections_ are represented by the marker interfaces:

* `org.camunda.bpm.spring.boot.starter.configuration.CamundaProcessEngineConfiguration`
* `org.camunda.bpm.spring.boot.starter.configuration.CamundaDatasourceConfiguration`
* `org.camunda.bpm.spring.boot.starter.configuration.CamundaHistoryConfiguration`

I haven’t found any examples on how to do this

Hi Brian,

The code you are looking for is:

@Bean
  @ConditionalOnProperty(prefix = "camunda.bpm.admin-user", name = "id")
  public CreateAdminUserConfiguration createAdminUserConfiguration() {
    return new CreateAdminUserConfiguration();
  }

You will find the user creation part in the CreateAdminUserConfig bean. If you add a similar bean and not set the property, you will be able to define custom behavior.
