Update the Keystone Admin Password

The process to update the Keystone admin user password requires two steps.

Note: The update triggers the OpenStack Lifecycle Manager pipeline and updates each Helm chart. The update might interrupt OpenStack services for a short time.

Prerequisites

Verify that you have a base64 encoded password.

Procedure

Change the password for the Keystone admin user.
1. Log in to the VMware Integrated OpenStack dashboard.
2. Select Identity > Users.
3. In the Actions column, select Change Password.
You can also use the OpenStack CLI to change the password with the following command.
```
openstack user set --password <password> admin
```
Or to change the password with a prompt instead of typing the password, use the following command.
```
openstack user set --password-prompt admin
```
In the OpenStack namespace, change the Keystone admin password.
1. Log in to the Integrated OpenStack Manager as the root user.
```
ssh root@mgmt-server-ip
```
2. Edit secret managedpasswords.
```
osctl edit secret managedpasswords
```
3. Update the value for the data.admin_password.
```
apiVersion: v1
data:
  admin_password: <new_password>
```
  The value of the new_password must be base64 encoded.
4. Check the deployment status.
```
viocli get deployment
```
  The deployment status first appears as reconfiguring. When it reaches running, the password update is complete.
