Change admin PW + SSL config simply does not work

Hi,
I am running HUE 2.6.1-2041 w/ HDP 2.20 installed on RHEL 6

Everything works great except

a) I want to change the admin user’s password. When I go to user admin or “profile” and change the password, I get no errors, but no matter what the password never changes

b) I read the instructions on how to configure SSL for HUE, but again, this does not work either. I setup a cert/key, tried uncommenting the sections in hue.ini + hue_httpd.conf and neither of these work. Sometimes hue won’t start at all or it does, but I can’t connect

Help?
