A shell script to generate a Lucee Admin password hash using an input string and salt. Suitable for pasting into lucee-*.xml.*

lucee-admin-password.sh

#!/bin/bash

SHA_ALGORITHM=256

if [ $LUCEE_SALT == "_" ]; then
  LUCEE_SALT=$(uuidgen | tr a-z A-Z)
fi

COUNT=1

while [ $COUNT -lt $SHA_COUNT ]; do
  LUCEE_HASH=$(echo -n $LUCEE_HASH | shasum -a $SHA_ALGORITHM | cut -f1 -d' ')
  COUNT=$((COUNT + 1))
done

echo "Lucee Admin Values"
echo "  hspw = $LUCEE_HASH"
echo "  salt = $LUCEE_SALT"
