Introduction

You have deployed Conduktor Console but need to change the organisation name which you have defined. This can happen if the initial name you gave was a default, as shown in figure 1 "default".

Conduktor Console registers the first name given for this so even changing the environmental variable won't help.  There is however something we can do, which is to change the value in the postgres database itself.

Figure 1: Example with organisation name shown as "default", which we want to change.

How to change this?

• Connect to the postgres database which you use for Conduktor Console, for example use the command psql -U postgres -h postgres -d postgres
  • (Where U is the username, h is the host and d is the database name.)

• Once in the database  go to the table  cdk_admin.organizations
• Execute the following query
  • Update cdk_admin.organizations set slug = 'lorcan',name = 'Lorcan' where id=1;

This will update the current slug and name data to be whatever you are looking to change it to. In my case I have changed the default to lorcan and Lorcan respectively for slug and the name, the name is what will appear on the screen.

You can check by then looking at the cdk_admin.organizations table and checking it is changed to the values you are looking for, and then by signing out of Conduktor Console and signing in again it should appear as changed in the console screen.

Conclusion 

You now know how to change the organisation name which is shown on Conduktor Console.
