How can I change the ranger admin and keyadmin passwords when not using Ambari?

cspencer — Thu, 28 Jan 2016 04:05:40 GMT

using a non-MIT kerberos server, and manage keytabs and kerberos accounts themselves, not through ambari. how can they change the passwords for both ranger admin and keyadmin. The docs are unclear on what this entails: can we just change them in our IPA, and that's it? Are there any config changes or updates necessary in Ambari when we do that? Would anything about the process impact uptime on our cluster?

@Cassandra Is this the Ranger UI admin password? Is the Ranger UI LDAP authenticated or still Unix authenticated? If not LDAP authenticated change the password in database. See

https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/4408/is-there-any-way-to-reset-ranger-admin-ui-password.html

If LDAP authenticated then admin or a user like this should have been in IPA.

Change it from there.
