How to change your Arma Reforger server name and password

The Arma Reforger server name and password are stored in server_config.json. Use the Config Editor for normal name and password changes so you do not need to edit JSON by hand.

1. Open your Arma Reforger server in the control panel.
2. Click Configuration Files.

   

3. Open server_config.json with Config Editor.

   

4. Change Server Name and Server Password as needed.

   

5. Click Save & Exit.
6. Restart the server so the new details are used.

Leave the password field blank if you want the server to be public. If the old name still appears in the browser immediately after restarting, wait a few minutes and refresh the server list.

After changing the setting

Restart the server and test the setting from the game client. Ask another player to test as well if the change affects joining, permissions, PvP, crossplay, or admin access.

If it does not apply

Confirm the value was saved in the correct configuration file or panel field. Some games only read these settings during startup, so a full restart is required before the change is visible.
