NAME¶

sxacl-usernewkey - change (password based) user authentication key

SYNOPSIS¶

sxacl usernewkey [OPTIONS] <username> sx://[profile@]cluster

DESCRIPTION¶

sxacl usernewkey generates a new user authentication key based on a password or a random data, which automatically replaces the old one. A normal user can change its own key and a cluster administrator can change a key of any user.

OPTIONS¶

-h, --help

Print help and exit

--full-help

Print help, including hidden options, and exit

-V, --version

Print version and exit

-p, --pass-file=PATH

By default sxacl works in interactive mode and asks for the user password on standard input. With this option it will read the password from the provided file.

-a, --auth-file=FILE

Store authentication key in a given file (instead of printing it).

-g, --generate-key

Automatically generate a new key based on a random data instead of a password.

-b, --batch-mode

Disable additional information and only print the automatically generated authentication key.

--force-key=KEY

By default, the new authentication key is automatically generated. With this option one can force the use of an old key. Only a key that was previously generated for the same username will be accepted.

-c, --config-dir=PATH

Path to the SX configuration directory (default: ~/.sx)

-D, --debug

Enable debug messages.

EXAMPLES¶

To change the key of user 'joe' run:
