Managing broker passwords
Note
The broker is at the Preview stage.
To start exchanging messages between broker clients, you must log in. This section describes how to manage broker passwords for the relevant authorization method.
Note
When using an X.509 certificate along with a password, the password has higher priority.
Adding a password to a broker
You can add a password to an existing broker or set it when creating a broker using the --password parameter.
Note
You can also set a password from the input stream. To do this, use the --read-password flag instead of the --password parameter.
Adding a password to an existing broker
- In the management console, select the folder where you want to add a password for an existing broker.
- Select IoT Core.
- In the left-hand panel, select Brokers.
- Select the appropriate broker from the list.
- Under Passwords, click Add password.
- In the Password field, enter the password you will use to access the broker. To create a password, you can use the password generator. Make sure to save your password, as you will need it later.
- Click Add.
If you do not have the Yandex Cloud (CLI) command line interface yet, install and initialize it.
The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.
