Unclear how to chage master password for jenkins2-ha-agents about aws-cf-templates HOT 6 CLOSED

I'm guessing if I don't pre-change the password worse case scenario I revert to the old password and it works again?
Yes.

m_set_admin_password runs only once because the file /var/lib/jenkins/setup_done.txt is created at the end of the first run of the setup sequence and prevents further runs.

Oh so that's what test means. Thanks :)
Just noticed that even that query would read from /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword so that wouldn't work anyway.

Alright then yeah I guess changing the password first on Jenkins then in the template probably works. :)
Thanks :)

Manually changing the password then updating the template didn't get the master to restart automatically because it only updated the cfn-init resource, so I had to restart it manually by triggering an "instance refresh".
Other than that it worked fine. :)

From checking the templates I would suggest you change the admin user password using the Jenkins UI. After that, you update the CloudFormation stack with the new password.

I highly recommend to test the approach with a separate jenkins installation.
You better create a backup before doing so.
This is just working in theory. I never tried it.

Do you have any insight as to whether the m_set_admin_password script I mentioned above is theoritically supposed to run at every boot or only when provisioning the stack?

Let us know how it goes :)
