Managing registry passwords

Written by
Updated at October 17, 2024

For devices and registries to begin exchanging data and commands, you need to log in. This section describes how to manage registry passwords for the appropriate authorization method.

Note

When using an X.509 certificate along with a password, the password has higher priority.

Adding a password to a registry

You can add a password to an existing registry or set it when creating a registry 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 registry

To add a password to an existing registry:

  1. In the management console, select the folder where you want to set a password for a previously created registry.
  2. Select IoT Core.
  3. Select the required registry from the list.
  4. Under Passwords, click Add password.
  5. In the Password field, enter the password you will be using to access your registry.
    You can use a password generator to create a password.
    Make sure you save the password, as you will need it later.
  6. Click Add.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

To add a password:

  1. Get a list of registries in the folder:

    yc iot registry list

    Result:

    +----------------------+-------------------+
|          ID          |       NAME        |
+----------------------+-------------------+
| arenou2oj4ct******** | my-registry       |
+----------------------+-------------------+

  2. Add a password to the registry:

    yc iot registry password add --registry-name my-registry --password Passw0rdForRegistry

    Result:

    registry_id: arenou2oj4ct********
id: areuu2hgsv6k********
created_at: "2019-12-16T15:32:46.655139Z"

Terraform allows you to quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. Configuration files store the infrastructure description in the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). Terraform and its providers are distributed under the Business Source License.

For more information about the provider resources, see the documentation on the Terraform website or the mirror.

If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.

If you don't have Terraform, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

To add a password to a registry created using Terraform:

  1. In the configuration file, describe the parameters of the resources you want to create:

    • yandex_iot_core_registry: Registry parameters:
      • name: Registry name.
      • description: Registry description.
      • passwords: List of registry passwords for authorization using a username and password.

    Here is an example of the resource structure in the configuration file:

    resource "yandex_iot_core_registry" "my_registry" {
  name        = "test-registry"
  description = "test registry for terraform provider documentation"
...
  passwords = [
    "<password_1>",
    "<password_2>"
  ]
...
}

    For more information about the yandex_iot_core_registry resource parameters in Terraform, see the provider documentation.

  2. In the command line, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.

  3. Make sure the configuration file is correct using this command:

    terraform validate

    If the configuration is correct, you will get this message:

    Success! The configuration is valid.

  4. Run this command:

    terraform plan

    The terminal will display a list of resources with parameters. No changes will be made at this step. If the configuration contains any errors, Terraform will point them out.

  5. Apply the configuration changes:

    terraform apply

  6. Confirm the changes: type yes in the terminal and press Enter.

    You can verify registry passwords in the management console or using the following CLI command:

    yc iot registry password list --registry-name <registry_name>

To add a password to a registry, use the addPassword REST API method for the Registry resource or the RegistryService/AddPassword gRPC API call.

Setting a password for a registry when creating it

To lean about setting a password for a registry being created, please see Creating a registry.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

Create a registry with a password:

yc iot registry create --name registry-with-pass --password Passw0rdForDevice

Result:

done (1s)
id: areg96c8loru********
folder_id: b1g88tflru0e********
created_at: "2019-12-16T15:34:25.563Z"
name: registry-with-pass
status: ACTIVE
log_group_id: ckghhil3b5o9********
