Effect of changing the password on the serveur hosting 3CX

[CFournier]

Hello,
I have tried to find an answer in the documentation without success but maybe I am not looking in the right place.
We have a local hosted version of 3cx running on Debian.
I want to change the master password on the server (not on the 3CX console) but I am worried that it might have side effects on the phone service.
Am I right to worry?

Thank you,

If you are talking about the Linux Root, this will not affect the 3CX Management Console password.
. Since PuTTY is no longer considered secure, you should pick something else. This site has some suggestions - https://www.baserootstheatre.org/2019/01/best-ssh-client-for-windows-os/
. This URL should help you in actually changing the password - https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-set-change-password-how-to/

Hope that helps!

For Windows, the best I found was simply installing Git Bash, it has ssh built-in and colors works. Also, WSL is not too bad, just freaking slow on IO.

This is exactly what I needed to know. Our new IT consultants have no expertise about 3CX, but they can handle the password on the root.
Thank you.

I will look into that, thank you.
