I'm using the "/etc/odoo/odoo.conf" file, in a docker container.


What is the difference between "admin_passwd" and "db_password"?


- "admin_passwd" is included in the sample config file, but is not documented anywhere.

- "db_password" is one of the cli options, and is documented, but it does not say whether it applies to the config file.

Hello John, 

db_password is used to configure postgres

Whereas

admin_password is an authentication password to performance operation related to the database at Odoo end like database create, restore, remove. Basically, it is used so that an unauthorized person cannot perform any operations.

So is "admin_password" ONLY used for "example.com/web/database/manager" ?

Yes John, you got it right.

The admin password is the password to access Odoo's database manager /web/database/manager. The db password is the Postgres password for the user Odoo uses to access Postgres.
