Description

I compiled 1.3.x from git - wanting to set a superuser password requires to annoyingly launch murmur manually with a parameter.

I'd welcome an option to set superuser option via a config line in murmur.ini.

https://wiki.mumble.info/wiki/Murmurguide#Linux_4

If there are other ways to set the superuser password then they are not noted in the wiki.

EDIT: Looks like the superuser password is autogenerated at first start of the server and is in logs. Would still welcome a config option tho.

Research direction
Investigate how murmur.ini is currently parsed in the Mumble server (likely in src/murmur or similar). Look for existing config options like 'database' or 'port' to understand the pattern. The feature requires adding a new config key, e.g., 'superuserpassword', and hooking it into the authentication logic. Check if there is any existing password setting mechanism or if a new one must be created. The issue has been open since 2017, indicating it's a low priority but straightforward enhancement.
