what's the password means about devops HOT 4 CLOSED

The password is the password for the admin user in the myorg organization. It is displayed in the last 2 lines of output from the deploy-mgmt-hub.sh script:

export HZN_ORG_ID=myorg
export HZN_EXCHANGE_USER_AUTH=admin:<pw>

Where <pw> is replaced by the actual password. The only place you have to use that password is in the HZN_EXCHANGE_USER_AUTH environment variable, as shown above. The hzn exchange ... commands use the HZN_EXCHANGE_USER_AUTH environment variable as credentials.

When you list the user with hzn exchange user list it intentionally obscures the password with ******** .

If this answers your question, please comment and close this issue.

@bmpotter Got it, Thanks for your clear info. Meanwhile, why it is a hide string ********* or how to get its real value if I needed it.

@xauthulei you can't query the password, that would be a serious security exposure. In fact the horizon exchange doesn't even know the password, because as soon as it gets it, it 1-way encrypts, so the only thing it is able to do is check if a clear password it is given is correct. This is standard practice, and the reason the deploy-mgmt-hub.sh outputs this instruction at the end:

Important: save these generated passwords/tokens in a safe place. You will not be able to query them from Horizon.
