Problem

No option to change Local Administrator/Cluster Administrator in pseudo-graphic menu available by default .

Solution

a) Upgrade to 5.1

b) Follow steps:

1. Download an archive with WHL packets.

2. Upload it to KATA CN to /tmp/change_password.zip

3. Extract (we have no unzip shipped by default):

   echo -e "import zipfile\nwith zipfile.ZipFile('/tmp/change_password.zip', 'r') as z:\n  z.extractall('/tmp/')" | python3

4. Become root:

   sudo su

5. Confirm this is a right node:

   docker ps | grep  kedr_database_server

6. Install installer patch:

   installer-1.0-py3-none-any.whl

   pip3 install --ignore-installed --no-deps /tmp/installer-1.0-py3-none-any.whl

7. Install docker_utils patch:

   docker_utils-1.0-py3-none-any.whl

   pip3 install --ignore-installed --no-deps /tmp/docker_utils-1.0-py3-none-any.whl

8. Restrict changing password to root: 

   which kata-web-admin-change-password | xargs chmod 754

9. Change password by running:

   kata-web-admin-change-password

10. Enter new password in the prompt, no confirmations or validation will be given

Selecting the correct node

Script must be executed on a node with kedr_database_server container, by default it is the processing one installed first, node2 in cluster.

In case it is executed on a wrong node, a hint will be given which is a right one.
