Unable to login to parse dashboard on AWS

Question

while creating an instance of parse server on AWS, I see the configuration.

var api = new ParseServer({
    databaseURI: "mongodb://root:gzkThVPNmUS5@127.0.0.1:27017/bitnami_parse",
    cloud: "./node_modules/parse-server/lib/cloud-code/Parse.Cloud.js",
    appId: "XXXXXXXaef",
    masterKey: "XXXXX33150",
    fileKey: "XXXXXXX7073",
    serverURL: "http://XXXXX.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:80/parse"
});

But the issue is when I use the serverURL to my web browser, it asks user and password which I do know. I tried my user name and password from AWS but it does not allow me to log in to the parse dashboard.

Can anybody help me with this? 

Answer 1

During the first time boot, the application password gets generated randomly. This password can be viewed as follows:

1. Log in to the AWS Cloud Console.
2. In the left navigation bar, select the "Instances -> Instances" menu item.
3. Select your instance in the dashboard.
4. From the "Actions" drop-down menu, select the "Get System Log" menu item.
5. Review the system log until you find the application password.

I had the same issue, which I have just resolved:

When looking into the AWS system log for the generated username user (by default) and password, make sure you manually type out the password that is generated when trying to login to the Parse dashboard.

Such copy and pasted clear-text passwords sent over the insecure http protocol doesn't work, and shouldn't work.
