Change bucket password

Learn how to change the read/write passwords for a bucket in BucketFS.

Prerequisites

  • The BucketFS service must be running.

Procedure

The following examples use ConfD through the command-line tool confd_client, which is available on all database nodes. You can also access ConfD through XML-RPC in your own Python programs. For more information, see ConfD.

  1. Connect to the cluster operating system (COS) using c4 connect -i PLAY_ID -s cos.

    Example:
    Copy 
    ./c4 connect -i c3275f84 -s cos

    To find the play ID, you can use c4 ps.

    For more information about how to use c4 commands, see How to use c4.

  2. Use the ConfD job bucket_modify to change the read and/or write password for a given bucket in the given BucketFS service. The password can be entered in either plain-text or a base64-encoded string. For example:

    Copy 
    confd_client bucket_modify bucket_name: BUCKET_NAME bucketfs_name: BUCKETFS_NAME public: False read_password: PASSWORD write_password: PASSWORD
