<@U06TM7M40RK> how to switch to different user for datahub deployed in local system

To switch to a different user for a DataHub instance deployed locally, you need to modify the user.props file, which contains the username and password combinations for DataHub users. The steps to achieve this depend on how you have deployed DataHub (e.g., using Docker Compose or the Quickstart method).

Using Docker Compose

  1. Create or Modify the user.props File:
    • Create a new file named user.props or modify the existing one. This file should contain the username and password in the format username:password.
    • For example, to change the password for the datahub user to newpassword, your user.props file should look like this:

// user.props
datahub:newpassword
```

  1. Mount the Updated user.props File:

    • Modify the docker-compose.yml file to mount the updated user.props file to the appropriate location inside the datahub-frontend-react container.
    • Add the following volume mapping to the datahub-frontend-react service in your docker-compose.yml file:
      datahub-frontend-react:
  ...
  volumes:
    - ./path/to/your/user.props:/datahub-frontend/conf/user.props

  2. Restart DataHub:

    • Restart the DataHub containers to apply the changes.
    • You can do this by running:
      docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d

Using Quickstart

  1. Create or Modify the user.props File:
    • Similar to the Docker Compose method, create or modify the user.props file with the desired username and password.
    • For example:

// user.props
datahub:newpassword
```

  1. Mount the Updated user.props File:

    • Modify the docker-compose.quickstart.yml file to mount the updated user.props file to the appropriate location inside the datahub-frontend-react container.
    • Add the following volume mapping:
      datahub-frontend-react:
  ...
  volumes:
    - ./path/to/your/user.props:/datahub-frontend/conf/user.props

  2. Restart DataHub:

    • Restart the DataHub containers to apply the changes.
    • You can do this by running:
      datahub docker quickstart --stop
datahub docker quickstart

Example user.props File

Here is an example of what your user.props file might look like if you want to add multiple users:

// user.props
datahub:newpassword
janesmith:janespassword
johndoe:johnspassword
