Change Soldat’s admin password without sharing it with players

Admin Passwort is the label used by this server configuration for the administration credential. Server Password is a separate field for joining matches.

File locations used below — relative to the server root
soldat.ini

Make the change

  1. Stop the server between matches and back up soldat.ini.
  2. Set Admin Passwort to a long, unique value for trusted staff.
  3. Set Server Password separately if the match should be private.
  4. Start and test player access using only the join password.
  5. Update authorized administration tools with the new admin password and keep it out of public messages.

Check the result

If an admin tool rejects the credential, check that it is connecting to the correct Soldat instance. Do not replace the player password with the admin password as a workaround.
