Change a user password

Prev Next

Resetting or changing a remote user's password token requires an authorization from administrator. The eeadmin.changeUserPassword command allows the administrator to change the user password remotely.

Syntax

Description

eeadmin.changeUserPassword

eeadmin.changeUser Password

userDn=<>

newPassword=<>

[oldPassword=<>]

If you specify the correct old password, the user's password is changed successfully.

If you specify an incorrect old password, the command fails and leaves the existing password unchanged.

If you don't specify the old password, users are reinitialized, leading to the loss of token, logon, Single-Sign-On (SSO), Self-Recovery, and password history data. This requires the users to reinitialize their data at next logon.
