I have just installed flowable in AWS on an EC2 instance. No proxy or anything. I took all of the war files and put them in the webapps folder of the tomcat.  
I added a application.properties file in the lib folder of the tomcat with only one line:  
‘flowable.common.app.idm-url=http://server-url:8080/flowable-idm’  
I have not changed database so I am using default H2.

I went to [http://server-url:8080/flowable-idm](http://server-url:8080/flowable-idm) and added users. I did also change the password for admin. So far so good.

When I try to go to [http://server-url:8080/flowable-task](http://server-url:8080/flowable-task) I am redirected to flowable-idm and prompted with the login page. Ok. I enter admin and the newly changed password. I am once again redirected back to the login page and prompted for username and password. No special error message occurs.  
When I enter an invalid password I get an error message just below the login-box saying ‘invalid credentials’. Entering the correct password once again I still get back to the same page but now the error message is gone.

The url in the browser looks like this:  
[http://server-url:8080/flowable-idm/#/login?redirectOnAuthSuccess=true&redirectUrl=http:%2F%2Fserver-url:8080%2Fflowable-task%2F](http://server-url:8080/flowable-idm/#/login?redirectOnAuthSuccess=true&redirectUrl=http:%2F%2Fserver-url:8080%2Fflowable-task%2F)

What have I missed in my setup to make this work?  
(On my local laptop with a local tomcat using localhost everything works as expected)

Thanks,  
Christer

Hi @chbe8475

It looks similar to this toipic [Redirecting to login page when id admin password other than test](https://forum.flowable.org/t/redirecting-to-login-page-when-id-admin-password-other-than-test/2475)

Hi @rgorzkowski,  
Yes, the symptons are the same. However, I am using the downloaded war-files in a tomcat, I am not using docker at all.  
By changing the password back to ‘test’ it sure works, but I would really like to change the default password 🙂  
Is there a property to set in the application.properties?

Thanks,  
Christer

Hi @chbe8475

What about flowable.common.app.idm-admin.password property ?

I changed the following:

```auto
#
# DEFAULT ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNTS
#

FLOWABLE_IDM_APP_ADMIN_USER_ID=flowable
FLOWABLE_IDM_APP_ADMIN_PASSWORD=test
FLOWABLE_IDM_APP_ADMIN_FIRST_NAME=Flowable
FLOWABLE_IDM_APP_ADMIN_LAST_NAME=Administrator
FLOWABLE_IDM_APP_ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@flowable.org

FLOWABLE_COMMON_APP_IDM_ADMIN_USER=flowable
FLOWABLE_COMMON_APP_IDM_ADMIN_PASSWORD=test

```
