  • The production database gets down-synced to the lower environments on demand, so they can test on actual production datasets. That would require us to manually remake this user account every time a dev down-syncs the database to a lower environment.

    The customer is paranoid, as the project is their public facing website, so they want testing against the actual prod environment.

    We don’t mange the SSO, as that is controlled by the customer. The only local (application specific) account is this account for testing.







  • I had a test engineer demand an admin password be admin/admin in production. I said absolutely not and had one of my team members change it to a 64-character password generated in a password manager. Dumbass immediately logs in and changes it to admin again. We found out when part of the pipeline broke.

    So, we generated another new one, and he immediately changed it back to admin again. We were waiting for it the second time and immediately called him out on the next stand-up. He said he needs it to be admin so he doesn’t have to change his scripts. picard_facepalm.jpg
