Securing the Installation
The default installation contains one database _system and a user
named root.
Debian-based packages ask for a password during the installation process. Red-Hat based packages set a random password. For all other installation packages, you need to execute the following:
shell> arango-secure-installation
This command asks for a root password and sets it.
