Hi,

Way to set username and password for cedalo management-center is given as setting environment variables viz. CEDALO_MC_USERNAME and CEDALO_MC_PASSWORD.
These env variables can be seen by anyone by running env command on the management-center container, this is not right for security concerns. Is there any other way to set these CEDALO_MC_USERNAME AND CEDALO_MC_PASSWORD?

It is not possible right now. As a general rule, we don’t recommend giving access to docker containers (i.e. adding users to docker group) to anyone other than admins.

We offer a SSO login as a plugin, where this is mitigated :slight_smile:
