This alert is used to ensure that the Ranger Admin password in Ambari is correct.

[#1]

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.

@Prakash Punj Did you get chance to test this?

@Neeraj Sabharwal

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

[#6]

@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

[#8]

@Prakash Punj Restart ranger and ambari

[#9]

@Neeraj Sabharwal

Thanks

Updated the user admin , password under Advanced ranger-ev

to

Same password of amb_ranger_admin password .

( both ranger_admin_password and admin_password are same ) .

Still No luck.

@Neeraj Sabharwal

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.

[#12]

Neeraj, do you mean amb_ranger_admin ?

[#13]

@Neeraj Sabharwal

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

[#14]

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.
