## change-master-password(1)

NAME | SYNOPSIS | DESCRIPTION | OPTIONS | OPERANDS | EXAMPLES | EXIT STATUS | SEE ALSO

#### NAME

change-master-password– changes the master password

#### SYNOPSIS

`change-master-password` [––domaindir domain_path | ––agentdir node-agent_path] [––savemasterpassword=false] [domain_name | node_agent_name]

#### DESCRIPTION

This local command is used to modify the master password. `Change-master-password` is interactive in that the user is prompted for the old master password, as well as the new master password. This command will not work unless the server is stopped. In a distributed Enterprise Edition environment, this command must run on each machine in the domain, with the Node Agent stopped.

#### OPTIONS

`––domaindir`

  This option specifies the directory used for this operation. By default, the domaindir is $AS_DEF_DOMAINS_PATH, which is an environment variable defined in asenv.bat/conf. Both the domaindir and the agentdir options should not be passed together; use one or the other.

`––agentdir`

  Like a DAS, each Node Agent resides in a top level directory named <agentdir>/<nodeagent_name>. If the agentdir is not specified, then $AS_DEF_DOMAINS_PATH/../nodeagents is used. Both the domaindir and the agentdir options should not be passed together; use one or the other. This option is supported in Enterprise Edition only.

`––savemasterpassword`

  This option indicates whether the master password should be written to the file system. This is necessary so that start-domain can start the server without having to prompt the user. WARNING: saving the master password on disk is extremely dangerous and should be avoided.

  NOTE: if `savemasterpassword` is not set, the master password file, if it exists, will be deleted.

#### OPERANDS

domain_name

  This is the domain name whose password is to be changed. If there is only a single domain, this is optional. This option can be used on either the Platform Edition or the Enterprise Edition.

node-agent_name

  This is the name of the node agent whose password is to be changed. If there is only a single domain, this is optional. This option can be used on Enterprise Edition only.

#### EXAMPLES

##### Example 1 Using change-master-password

    asadmin> change-master-password domain44ps

Master password has been changed

#### EXIT STATUS

0

  command executed successfully

1

  error in executing the command
