Updating couchbase cloud capella passwords

Will Broadbelt edited this page Jan 11, 2023 · 1 revision

Context

Capella passwords (currently) only last 90 days before they must be changed/updated. This happens via an email prompt sent to the users account. All the accounts for prod/stage/dev used by cbdyncluster use the email sdk_qe@couchbase.com.

There is an email list associated with sdk_qe so any email sent to that account should be forwared to everyone in the SDK QE team.

Steps to update

  1. Update the password of the account via the email link
  2. SSH into the cbdynclusterd host
  3. Edit the toml config file ~/.cbdyncluster.toml
    • Change the password in the relevant environment section that has been updated (prod/stage/dev)
  4. Restart cbdynclusterd to pick up the new config/password
    • cd /opt/cbdynclusterd
    • ./stop.sh
    • ./start.sh
