Hello neo4j-community,
We are currently managing the neo4j cluster (Enterprise version 3.5.14Kubernetes.
We have a situation where neo4j should be able to accept multiple usernames & passwords on startup Currently we are setting the initial username & password using neo4j.yaml where the username & password are passed to neo4j using env variables like this :
- name: NEO4J_ACCEPT_LICENSE_AGREEMENT
value: "yes"
- name: AUTH_ENABLED
value: "true"
- name: NEO4J_AUTH
value: "neo4j/xyzsdaffqesaa"
Any suggestions/improvements to mitigate this problem are welcome.
Thank you.

please go through following article it talks about docker but would be helpful for you too.

I've been trying to set an initial password on my Neo4j docker container but it … doesn't appear to be doing anything. When I access the container the password is still set to the default which is neo4j. I'm passing in an environment variable based on the documentation I found (here)[https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/installation/docker/]. When I try to set the password to something custom the password remains the default neo4j. However, if I say `NEO4J_AUTH=none` then the container respects that and uses no password.
This is the contents of my docker-compose.yml
```
version: "3.7"
services:
neo4j:
image: neo4j:latest
container_name: neo4j
volumes:
- ./persisted_data/neo4j/data:/data
ports:
# http and bolt access respectively
- 7474:7474
- 7687:7687
env_file:
- .env
```
This is my .env file which works
```
# neo4j auth as username/password
NEO4J_AUTH=none
```
This is my .env file which fails
```
# neo4j auth as username/password
NEO4J_AUTH=neo4j/anything_here_is_replaced_by_neo4j_as_the_password
```
what is believe you need to upgrade to higher version of Neo4j (3.5.6 or higher)
