Ever need to reset a password in Bonobo Git Server ?


So, you've forgotten your password to bonobo git.

Step 1: Get access to the sqlite file, probably called something like  Bonobo.Git.Server.db, sitting in the "wwwroot\Bonobo.Git.Server\App_Data" directory.

Step 2: Using another tool, generate an md5 hash of your new desired password (as far as I know, sqlite does not have md5 capability)

Step 3: Back in sqlite, using SQL, update the relevant user record, something like
update User set Password = UPPER( 'thenewMD5hash') where Username = 'admin' ;

Step 4: That's it, you are done, log in with your newly found password.

    Very helpful. Here's what I did:

    `1) I downloaded sqlLite.exe and put it in my downloads folder.
    2) I downloaded my Bonobo.Git.Server.db (make a copy of it on the server just in case) TO THE SAME FOLDER
    3) RUN sqllite.exe
    4) you will have a" sqllite>" prompt
    5) type ".open Bonobo.Git.Server.db" and hit enter
    6) type "update User set Password = UPPER('21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3') where Username = 'admin';" and hit enter

    You username and password will be reset to "admin" and "admin"

    7) Upload/overwrite Bonobo.Git.Server.db on your server (you may have to restart IIS before it will let you copy)

Tip to create an underline on a heading shorter than the heading itself

You can use a pseudo element with :before (or :after ): h1 { font - weight : 300 ; display : inline - block ; padding - bottom : 5px ; position : relative ; } h1 : before { content : "" ; position : absolute ; width : 50 %; height : 1px ; bottom : 0 ; left : 25 %; border - bottom : 1px solid red ; } http://jsfiddle.net/9e27b/ This is another solution that centers the heading, the problem here is that the underline gets shorter as the column gets shorter. h2 {   display: inline-block;   padding-bottom: 15px;   position: relative;   width: 100% ;   text-align: center; } h2:before{     content: "";     position: absolute;     width: 8%;     height: 1px;     bottom: 0;     left: 46%;     border-bottom: 1px solid red; }

The web.config no extension mime problem Lets Encrypt on IIS/Windows

  Tip when using LetsEncrypt in Windows - Feature Requests - Let's Encrypt Community Support In a paragraph, just use the web.config file to set the mime type, eg...  After trying to figure out why my Lets Encrypt failed to generate in Windows, and discovering that it's the no extension mime type problem, I wondered whether certbot could fill in the missing gap. All that is needed is the following web.config file to be placed in the same directory as the challenge <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration> <system.webServer> <staticContent> <mimeMap fileExtension="." mimeType="text/xml" /> </staticContent> </system.webServer> </configuration> Because there's no mime type for files without an extension on IIS, IIS sends back a 404 when verification happens. The web.config file above sets the mime type. After I created the .well-known
