XDCR Credentials management => Password change on destination cluster should reset on-going replications

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Here is the scenario:

      • Setup: 2 clusters with several unidirectional XDCR links. (From Cluster 1 to Cluster 2)
      • Customer changes the Admin password on Cluster 2 (destination)
      • No update of the Admin password on Cluster 1 (source).
      • No XDCR on-going replications failed at password change time.
      • Network outage experienced and all XDCR replications failed.

      Due to security requirements, when there is a password change => all XDCR ongoing replications should be reset automatically. (not waiting for a pause/resume or a network outage)

      We could imagine Cluster 2 (destination) doing a "drop all XDCR connections" which would force Cluster 1 (source) to re-initiate the on-going replications with the right password. Also to make it smooth and automatic, Cluster 1 (source) will probably need to support the old & new password.
