Resetting the SASL_SSL Password¶
Scenario¶
If you forget the password of a SASL_SSL user created on the Users tab page, you can reset the password and use the new password to connect to the Kafka instance.
If you forget the SASL_SSL password set during instance creation, reset the password by following the instructions provided in Resetting Kafka Password.
Note
You can reset the SASL_SSL password only if Kafka SASL_SSL has been enabled for the instance.
You can reset the SASL_SSL password only when the instance is in the Running state.
Procedure¶
Log in to the management console.
Click in the upper left corner to select a region.
Note
Select the region where your Kafka instance is located.
Click Service List and choose Application > Distributed Message Service. The Kafka instance list is displayed.
Click the name of the desired Kafka instance.
On the Users tab page, click Reset Password in the row containing the desired user.
Enter and confirm a new password, and click OK.
If the password is successfully reset, a success message is displayed.
If the password fails to be reset, a failure message is displayed. In this case, reset the password again. If you still fail to reset the password after multiple attempts, contact customer service.
Note
The system will display a success message only after the password is successfully reset on all brokers.
