The steps to change the login password for Portal and Ranger Admin were tested in an environment where the following services were installed using PM CLI:

• Privacera Core Components

Configuration

The following steps shows how you can change the login password for Portal and Ranger Admin:

1. To edit the Portal password:

   In the Portal UI, go to Settings > UserManagement and then click Edit.

2. To edit the Ranger password:

   In the Ranger Admin UI, go to Admin > Profile and click on Change Password tab.

3. In the terminal where Privacera is installed, do the following:

   a. Run the command to create a vars.password.yml file.

   vi ~/privacera/privacera-manager/config/custom-vars/vars.password.yml
   

   b. Add the following properties in the file. Since the passwords for Portal and Ranger Admin have been changed above, set the new password in PORTAL_PADMIN_PASSWORD for Portal, and RANGER_ADMIN_PASSWORD for Ranger Admin.

   PORTAL_PADMIN_PASSWORD: "<new portal password>"
   DATASERVER_PORTAL_LOGIN_USER_PASS: "<new portal password>"
   DISCOVERY_PORTAL_SERVICE_PASSWORD: "<new portal password>"
   
   RANGER_ADMIN_PASSWORD: "<new ranger password>"

   c. Run the update.

   ./privacera-manager.sh update
   

You can log in to Portal and Ranger Admin using the new passwords.
