Unable to update ArgoCD account password
Lab 3.3 Argo CD Security and RBAC says to set the password with the following command. I've included the errors and my other attempts
$ argocd account update-password --account developer --new-password Developer123 FATA[0000] Argo CD server address unspecified $ argocd account update-password --account developer --new-password Developer123 --server localhost:8080 FATA[0000] Failed to establish connection to localhost:8080: tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority
Then I tried to trust the cert on my Mac via the following steps
1. export cert by going to my ArgoCD server URL via https://localhost:8080 on my browser
2. Added certificate to login keychain in Keychain Access utility.
3. Configure cert to "Always Trust"
Then when I try to update the password again, I get the following error
$ argocd account update-password --account developer --new-password Developer123 --server localhost:8080 FATA[0000] rpc error: code = Unauthenticated desc = no session information
I am using a work computer with a vpn that has caused me issues in the past with minikube, k3d, etc. Don't know if it is related.

Using the username and password from the previous section, I logged in before executing the update-password command.
argocd login localhost:8080 --name admin --password <secret:argocd-initial-admin-secret>

Hi @johchung
I tried to reproduce the issue on a kind cluster as shown below:kind version kind v0.22.0 go1.21.7 darwin/arm64 kubectl get no NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION kind-control-plane Ready control-plane 3d21h v1.29.2 kind-worker Ready <none> 3d21h v1.29.2 kind-worker2 Ready <none> 3d21h v1.29.2
kubectl create namespace argocd kubectl apply --namespace argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml kubectl --namespace argocd get po NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE argocd-application-controller-0 1/1 Running 0 2m argocd-applicationset-controller-6c8fbc69b5-2kfkn 1/1 Running 0 2m argocd-dex-server-b6fc796d7-glsbp 1/1 Running 0 2m argocd-notifications-controller-6b66d47b45-gh9zr 1/1 Running 0 2m argocd-redis-76748db5f4-vfdp7 1/1 Running 0 2m argocd-repo-server-6f87db89c7-g92df 1/1 Running 0 2m argocd-server-7cbbdb87d7-84vg6 1/1 Running 0 2m kubectl port-forward svc/argocd-server --namespace argocd 8080:443 Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8080 -> 8080 Forwarding from [::1]:8080 -> 8080
Then I tried to log in using the admin credentials:
kubectl --namespace argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d; echo <PASSWORD> argocd login localhost:8080 WARNING: server certificate had error: tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority. Proceed insecurely (y/n)? y Username: admin Password: 'admin:login' logged in successfully Context 'localhost:8080' updated
Then I added a new user to the ArgoCD config map as follows:
kubectl edit cm argocd-cm --namespace argocd apiVersion: v1 data: accounts.developer: login kind: ConfigMap metadata: labels: app.kubernetes.io/name: argocd-cm app.kubernetes.io/part-of: argocd name: argocd-cm namespace: argocd
Finally, I updated the password for the new user:
argocd account update-password --account developer --new-password Developer123 *** Enter password of currently logged in user (admin): Password updated
And I tried to log in using the new user:
argocd login localhost:8080 WARNING: server certificate had error: tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority. Proceed insecurely (y/n)? y Username: developer Password: 'developer:login' logged in successfully Context 'localhost:8080' updated
Here is the version of the ArgoCD and the CLI I used:
argocd version argocd: v2.10.7+b060053.dirty BuildDate: 2024-04-15T12:31:39Z GitCommit: b060053b099b4c81c1e635839a309c9c8c1863e9 GitTreeState: dirty GoVersion: go1.22.2 Compiler: gc Platform: darwin/arm64 argocd-server: v2.10.6+d504d2b BuildDate: 2024-04-05T00:27:47Z GitCommit: d504d2b1d92f0cf831a124a5fd1a96ee29fa7679 GitTreeState: clean GoVersion: go1.21.3 Compiler: gc Platform: linux/arm64 Kustomize Version: v5.2.1 2023-10-19T20:13:51Z Helm Version: v3.14.3+gf03cc04 Kubectl Version: v0.26.11 Jsonnet Version: v0.20.0
Can you please confirm that you have done the same steps?

Yup, after I logged in everything worked. Unfortunately, that step was not included in the lesson.
