Password manager command

Use the password manager command to manage access to the Configuration Console using a properties file. You can add, delete, and list users and reset their passwords..

The syntax for the password manager command is:

pwdmgr -option parameter

To use a password manager command, issue the command from the \srd-home\console\ directory.

Options and Parameters

Each option and parameters for the password manager command must be specified as separate commands. If you do not specify an option, the command help is displayed.

-a username
Adds one user at a time.
The name you specify for the user is the default value for the initial password. The user is prompted to change this password when they log in to the Configuration Console for the first time.
If you add a user who already exists, you get an error message.
-d username
Deletes one user at a time.
If you try to delete a user that does not exist, you get an error message. You can display a list of users using the list option to make sure that the user was successfully deleted.
-l
Displays a list of all users and their status.
-r username
Resets the password for the user you specify to the user ID. For example, judy/sunflower would be reset to judy/judy.

Two files work with the password manager command:

These files are located in the srd-home directory. However, do not change them manually. They are used by the product to track user logins, and they are required parameters in some other commands.

Sample password manager commands

To add a new user who's login name and default password are both "judy," type the following command pwdmgr -a judy

To delete the existing user named judy and the corresponding password, type the following command pwdmgr -d judy

To see a list of current users and their status type the following command pwdmgr -l

For example, if you type the command pwdmgr -l , the following sample output might be displayed :
admin (super-user)
judy (super-user)
allen (super-user)
jose (super-user) *** NEVER LOGGED IN ***
If you recently reset a password, a message is displayed showing that the user has not logged in to the Configuration Console yet with the new password.

To reset the password of a user to the user ID, type the following command pwdmgr -r username

For example if you type the command pwdmgr -r judy, the password of the existing user named judy is reset to the default password "judy". If the original login/password was judy/sunflower, it is now reset to judy/judy.
