Users.conf in AMS 5

Hi everyone,

I'm having issues logging in to the administration console in AMS 5 for Amazon Web Services. I've modified the ams.ini file adding the line "SERVER.ADMIN_PASSWORD = mypasswd" and in Users.xml file I've commented out the "Password" and used a previous configuration line found in FMS 4.0 versions:

<!-- Salted Password Hash for this vhost administrator. -->

<!-- <Password>Salted hash of the Password goes here</Password> -->

<Password encrypt="false">${SERVER.ADMIN_PASSWORD}</Password>

After restarting the admin service, i perform a ping test but i get the following error:

<result><level>error</level><code>NetConnection.Connect.Rejected</code><description>Admin user requires valid username and password.</description><timestamp>Mon 27 Aug 2012 11:06:10 AM EDT</timestamp></result>

I've tried hardcoding the password, but with no luck. I've done some research on the salted has password, but I couldn't find any starting point.

If there's anyone out there who could help me on this, I will be much appreciated.

Regards,

Martin
