Change Password for Fresh Installation:

You can change passwords by directly modifying configuration files on your Privacera instance.

Note

This password change method applies only before running the initial Privacera Manager setup. It is meant for fresh installations of Privacera Portal — not for existing or upgraded environments. If the Privacera Manager setup has already been executed, these steps will not take effect. For existing installation password change, refer to Change Your Password.

  1. SSH into Privacera Instance :

    SSH into the instance where Privacera is installed

  2. Create or edit the vars.password.yml file:

    Bash
    1
    vi ~/privacera/privacera-manager/config/custom-vars/vars.password.yml

  3. Add or update the following variables with the new passwords:

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

    Password Variable Descriptions:

    • PORTAL_PADMIN_PASSWORD: Sets the admin password for the Privacera Portal.

    • RANGER_ADMIN_PASSWORD: Sets the admin password for Ranger Admin.

    • RANGER_USERSYNC_PASSWORD: This property is deprecated and should no longer be used.

    After all the changes are done you need to update Privacera Manager platform instance by following the commands
