From 4558be3a5e5980cc88f06847cc3907d9f16a626e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Antoine Vandevenne (anv)" Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2022 12:41:29 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] [IMP] install: guide the user through the login page Developers sometimes have a hard time making the difference between the PostgreSQL user and the internal user. They would try to log into Odoo's web client with their PostgreSQL credentials rather than with admin.
