CDP 7.1.8 to CDH 6.3.4 Rollback

maali_87 — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:45:03 GMT

Hi guys,

I'm testing an upgrade from CDH 6.3.4 to CDP 7.1.8 , I successfully performed the upgrade but I'm trying to test the rollback process, I'm using AUTO-TLS, but I'm having a one issue though, it says the below in the HDFS rollback

Cloudera :

(Clusters with TLS enabled only) Edit the /etc/hadoop/conf.rollback.namenode/ssl-server.xml file on all NameNode hosts (located in the temporary rollback directory) and update the keystore passwords with the actual cleartext passwords.

So the question is : How can I get the cleartext password ?

Hi @maali_87 , We can gather the clear text password from the Cloudera server DB. Please try this command after logging to CM DB -

select * from CONFIGS where ATTR='auto_tls_truststore_password';
