Configure Windows password

If, when creating or modifying a consumer, you specify a Windows user account that has not already been configured, you have to set the password before you can continue.

Configure the password of every new Windows execution account that you introduce into the system. (The egoadmin account was configured during installation.)

Use the same command to update the system if the execution account password ever changes. You have to register the new password in EGO every time the execution account password changes in Windows.

Restriction:

The password must be 31 characters or less.

  1. Log on to a host as egoadmin.
  2. Log on to EGO as an EGO authentication user.

    egosh user logon -u user_name -x password

    For example, type

    egosh user logon -u Admin -x Admin

  3. To configure the Windows password, run

    egosh ego execpasswd -u user_name -x password

    For example, if the account is mydomain\user2, type

    egosh ego execpasswd -u mydomain\user2 -x mypasswd

    Note:

    If you want to set the password for a Windows domain user from a Linux/UNIX host, enclose the Windows domain name in quotation marks:

    egosh ego execpasswd -u "mydomain\user2" -x mypasswd
