How to Compare the Admin Password in the Mongo Database to the one in the backup?

Environment

• Platform9 Edge Cloud - v5.3 (LTS1)

Procedure

• Note the password from the get-cred command. This command fetched the username and password from MongoDB.

Bash

/opt/pf9/airctl/airctl get-creds --config /opt/pf9/airctl/conf/airctl-config.yaml

• Untar backup file

Bash

tar -xf <back_up_file>

Ex: tar -xf airctl_state.tar.gz

• Change directory to mongo

Bash

cd mongo

• Get admin_pass from du_data.json

Bash

vi du_data.json    #search for "admin_pass" and make a note of admin_pass value

Ex:
"passwords": {
                        "admin_pass": "airctl-1-33xxx54-31-pf9-localnet-admin_pass",

• Get the Password from secrets.json

Bash

vi secrets.json   #search for admin_pass value copied in previous step

Ex:
{
        "_id": {
                "$oid": "66bdfe9xxxxxxx1262d9f"
        },
        "tag": "airctl-1-33xxx54-31-pf9-localnet-admin_pass",
        "context": "customer",
        "driver": "null",
        "record": {
                "HYAT!": "c194ZxxxRaxxCk",
                "binary": false
        }
