> An administrator may occasionally want to change the password for the MySQL account used by CloudStack. When password encryption is used as recommended, this procedure is complicated and should be documented. I wrote the following procedure for the "file" encryption type and QA verified it. The procedure for "web" encryption is likely similar. It may also be useful to include a procedure for no encryption.
> 1. Stop CloudStack and (if applicable) the usage engine.
> service cloud-management stop
> service cloud-usage stop
> 2. Update the password for the CloudStack user on the MySQL server. Open a
> MySQL prompt:
> mysql -u root -p
> Run the following:
> update mysql.user set password=PASSWORD("newpassword123") where User='cloud';
> flush privileges;
> And exit the prompt:
> quit
> 3. Encrypt the password and copy the resulting ciphertext:
> java -classpath /usr/share/java/cloud-jasypt-1.8.jar
> org.jasypt.intf.cli.JasyptPBEStringEncryptionCLI encrypt.sh
> input="newpassword123" password="`cat /etc/cloud/management/key`" verbose=false
> Note: If using db.cloud.encryption.type=web, use:
> password="management_server_secret_key"
> 4. Update /etc/cloud/management/db.properties with the new ciphertext:
> db.cloud.password=ENC(encrypted_password_from_above)
> db.usage.password=ENC(encrypted_password_from_above)
> 5. Start CloudStack and (if applicable) the usage engine.
> service cloud-management start
> service cloud-usage start
