Managing registry passwords

For devices and registries to begin exchanging data and commands, you need to log in. This section describes how to manage registry passwords for the appropriate authorization method.

Note

When using an X.509 certificate along with a password, the password has higher priority.

Adding a password to a registry

You can add a password to an existing registry or set it when creating a registry 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 registry

To add a password to an existing registry:

  1. In the management console, select the folder where you want to add a password to an existing registry.
  2. Select Yandex IoT Core.
  3. Select the desired registry from the list.
  4. Under Passwords, click Add password.
  5. In the Password field, set a password that you'll use to access the registry.
    To do this, you can use a password generator.
    Don't forget to save your password because you'll need it later.
  6. Click Add.

If you don't have the Yandex.Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

To add a password:

  1. Get a list of registries in the folder:

    $ yc iot registry list
+----------------------+-------------------+
|          ID          |       NAME        |
+----------------------+-------------------+
| arenou2oj4ct42eq82er | my-registry       |
+----------------------+-------------------+

  2. Add a password to the registry:

    $ yc iot registry password add --registry-name my-registry --password Passw0rdForRegistry
registry_id: arenou2oj4ct42eq8g3n
id: areuu2hgsv6klgbd4e6d
created_at: "2019-12-16T15:32:46.655139Z"

Setting a password for a registry when creating it

For information about how to set a password for a registry when creating it, see Creating a registry.
