## Please store these credentials securely. ##
## You will need them to connect to the webservice. ##
############################################################
MSF web service username: jmutai
MSF web service password: password
MSF web service user API token: 1852b337c09cf94b7ea9a467d3cab4c2dc78ae19e3e8620df21cf743a36ecf68308de0fdaae02eb4
MSF web service configuration complete
The web service has been configured as your default data service in msfconsole with the name "local-https-data-service"
If needed, manually reconnect to the data service in msfconsole using the command:
db_connect --token 1852b337c09cf94b7ea9a467d3cab4c2dc78ae19e3e8620df21cf743a36ecf68308de0fdaae02eb4 --cert /home/jmutai/.msf4/msf-ws-cert.pem --skip-verify https://localhost:5443
The username and password are credentials for the API account:
https://localhost:5443/api/v1/auth/account
This will create an initial database schema, set service account and start services. Output similar to below should be printed.
Use printed credentials to access MSF Web Service & API.
Check your Framework version using:
$ msfconsole --version
Framework Version: 6.3.10-dev-
