@Prakash Punj See this http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP2/HDP-2.3.4/bk_Ranger_Install_Guide/content/updating_ran...

Read it carefully.

There are 2 settings

  • Ranger Admin user -- The credentials for this user are set in Configs > Advanced ranger-env in the fields labeledadmin_username (default value: admin) and admin_password (default value: admin).
  • Admin user used by Ambari to create repo/policies -- The user name for this user is set in Configs > Admin Settings in the field labeled Ranger Admin username for Ambari (default value: amb_ranger_admin). The password for this user is set in the field labeled Ranger Admin user's password for Ambari. This password is specified during the Ranger installation.

@Prakash Punj Did you get chance to test this?

Actually instructions are not very clear to me. All I did was made all those password same. But still the alert is there. I don't understand where it says "update the passwords on the Configs page of each Ambari component that has the Ranger plugin enabled" I have ranger plugin enabled for Hive and Hbase but there do I need to update the password.

Thanks

@Prakash Punj

Did you change your Ranger UI admin password? If you did then you have to update Ambari with new password

@Neeraj Sabharwal

currently Ranger UI account (admin) password, and passwords as per this screen ( Ambari Ranger services configuration) as per the link below are all the same. Anything else I am missing here.

@Prakash Punj If you changed the Ranger UI password then you have to update 2nd part in the screenshot "admin_username"

1st part if if you change admin password for Ambari
