Failing to connect to API in Web UI after changing API user passwords using wazuh-passwords-tool.sh

[stumpf84]

Wazuh version	Component	Install type	Install method	Platform
4.7.3	wazuh-passwords-tool.sh	Manager	Ansible	Ubuntu 22.04

Problem:
Changing all passwords, including the API user passwords, using:

bash wazuh-passwords-tool.sh -a -au wazuh -ap <wazuh_pass>

results in failing to connect to the API in the health check of the Web UI.

Could not connect to API id [default]: 3099- ERROR3099 - Invalid credentials

Cause:
The password in /usr/share/wazuh-dashboard/data/wazuh/config/wazuh.yml is set to the newly created wazuh-wui password but the username is set to 'wazuh'.

Solution:
Changing username in /usr/share/wazuh-dashboard/data/wazuh/config/wazuh.yml from 'wazuh' to 'wazuh-wui'.

Update

The script should verify what user is configured in the wazuh.yml file, and change the password according to that.

For the Wazuh Ansible deployment, we have to open a new issue in the wazuh-ansible repository to change the default user from wazuh to wazuh-wui for the wazuh.yml file.
