| NAME |
| change-master-password - changes the master password |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| change-master-password [--help] [--nodedir node-dir] [--domaindir domain-dir] |
| [--savemasterpassword={false|true}] [domain-name|node-name] |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| The change-master-password subcommand is used to modify the master |
| password. The change-master-password subcommand is interactive in that |
| the user is prompted for the old master password, as well as the new |
| master password. This subcommand will not work unless the server is |
| stopped. In a distributed environment, this command must run on each |
| machine in the domain. |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| --help, -? |
| Displays the help text for the subcommand. |
| |
| --nodedir |
| The name of the directory containing the node instance for which |
| the password will be changed. If this option is omitted, the change |
| is applied to the entire domain. |
| |
| --domaindir |
| The name of the domain directory used for this operation. By |
| default, the --domaindir option is $AS_DEF_DOMAINS_PATH, which is |
| an environment variable defined in the file asenv.bat or |
| asenv.conf. |
| |
| --savemasterpassword |
| This option indicates whether the master password should be written |
| to the file system. This is necessary so that the start-domain(1) |
| command can start the server without having to prompt the user. |
| |
| The default is false. |
| |
| Caution |
| +--------------------------------------+ |
| |Saving the master password on disk is | |
| |extremely insecure and should be | |
| |avoided. | |
| +--------------------------------------+ |
| |
| Note |
| +--------------------------------------+ |
| |If the --savemasterpassword option is | |
| |not set, the master password file, if | |
| |it exists, will be deleted. | |
| +--------------------------------------+ |
| |
| OPERANDS |
| domain-name|node-name |

| changed. If there is only a single domain, this is optional. |
