Managing broker passwords

Written by
Updated at October 17, 2024

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

  1. In the management console, select the folder where you want to add a password to an existing broker.
  2. Select IoT Core.
  3. In the left-hand panel, select Brokers.
  4. Select the appropriate broker from the list.
  5. Under Passwords, click Add password.
  6. 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.
  7. Click Add.

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.

To add a password:

  1. Get a list of brokers in the folder:

    yc iot broker list

    Result:

    +----------------------+-------------------+
|          ID          |       NAME        |
+----------------------+-------------------+
| arenou2oj4********** | my-broker         |
+----------------------+-------------------+

  2. Add a password to the broker:

    yc iot broker password add --broker-name my-broker --password Passw0rdForBroker

    Result:

    	broker_id: arenou2oj4**********
id: areuu2hgsv6k********
created_at: "2019-12-16T15:32:46.655139Z"

To add a password to a broker, use the addPassword REST API method for the Broker resource or the BrokerService/AddPassword gRPC API call.

Setting a password for a broker when creating it

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 broker with a password:

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

Result:

	done (1s)
id: areg96c8lo**********
folder_id: b1g88tflru**********
created_at: "2019-12-16T15:34:25.563Z"
