Change Password Script (VDP)

The script change_password updates the password for a local VDP user. This script is located within the file <DENODO_HOME>/tools/db/denodo-db-tools.zip.

Syntax of the “change_password” script
change_password -h <host> -p <port> -l <login> -P <password> -n <new password>

-h <host>: host name of VDP server.

-p <port>: port of VDP server.

-l <login>: username of the user account which password will be changed.

-P <password>: current password of the user.

-n <new password>: the new password for the user.

You can encrypt both passwords with the command <DENODO_HOME>/bin/encrypt_password "<password>". Then, copy the output of this command and pass it as an argument of this parameter, with the prefix encrypted. For example, -P encrypted:Gr16MjvuXhRzPtPH/yTXHw==.

Example
./change_password -h localhost -p 9999 -l userA -P encrypted:/IN4bU65XBHEg8oD+SyWkCk4Lh9wWtJvGPkyu1MChU8+W7gotUFG53CrLNen1R2Gc7zXSDzwNhwBsUCEqWlPsx4ntaIsfa3E4eAZeDhqWQqtxSdWb9qf5eIuhFCDB1lH
-n encrypted:iioPkS32TxGoDY4109Lp0Q+3cthzbucMejXaxmd6Q9gJjF67hmZTphzE2igCF8BKrAbVV/1GmylhTr0712cTye7DvA/5VKTEjMAFv+/XaGQkAYLAP4KD1fZ3KGae797G

This command updates the password of VDP user userA to newPasswA (in this example, we pass this new password encrypted).
