What is the root user and password for my Elastic Server?
All Elastic Servers are shipped with ‘cftuser’ credentials. You can choose to use a static password or let the Elastic Server Platform generate a random one on the Server Configuration Page during assembly. We do not ship the root credentials but users can sudo to root and modify configuration files. Currently there should be no limitation on what the cftuser can do via sudo. Try “sudo su” and use cftuser’s password, and you will become root. Just remember when doing things as the superuser you can make changes that could break the Elastic Server.
