NEO4J | Causal Cluster - How to change user password (across all instances)

Problem: Change the user password of account neo4j

Attempted Flow:

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST \ 
  -d '{"password": "newPwd"}' \
  -u neo4j:"oldPwd" \ 
  http://IP-ADDR:7474/user/neo4j/password

Observation:

  1. Only one instance has reflecting with the changed user password.

Expected:

  1. All instances of the Causal Cluster should be applied with the password changes.

Update: NEO4J Team Replied in their chat

Neo4j 4.x no longer has this limitation and users/roles are auto propagated amongst members

In 3.5 after changing the password in one member, you need to copy the neo4j_directory/data/dbms/auth file manually to all other cluster members , there is no need to shutdown the members, the file will be re-read autimatically in few minutes after you copy. ( The issue is fixed in neo4j 4.X )
