Getting Alert: amb_user_admin credentials in Ambari UI is not in sync with Ranger.

Where can I make them in Sync..

@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.

I was getting same alert, ambari 2.2.0, hdp 2.3.4. I updated both passwords (admin and amb_user_admin), alert turned green after few minutes.

Neeraj, do you mean amb_ranger_admin ?

I made sure all the following account password is same:

Ambari account for admin / password

In the Advanced config of ranger service (screen shot)

Ranger Interface:  Admin: admin / password

Even i faced the same problem while upgrading the HDP version.

I just logged into Ranger UI as admin user, and in the user section i reset the same password for "admin" and "amb_ranger_admin" users and restarted ranger service. This worked for me.
