Change Password (ttstpchangepw)

Use this session to change your Operating System password.

The session prompts for the current password and then prompts for the new password twice.

For more information on passwords, refer to LN user password.

Achtung!

Press Tab after you enter data in a field. This goes for all fields.

Hinweis

The session checks whether your user account is used to log on to a remote system. If so, the corresponding password in the Remote User Data (ttaad201) table is updated automatically.

Only run this session on a Master Application Server (MAS). If you run this session on an application server (AS), only the password in the remote user data on the AS is changed. The password on the MAS is not updated. As a result, you cannot log on to the MAS anymore.

Relation with passwd command

The session sends the following parameters to the passwd command in the UNIX operating system of the LN server:

old password- new password- new password

If the passwd command expects different input parameters, an error message is displayed. The input parameters expected by the passwd command depend on the UNIX version and on your UNIX login code.

Errors may occur, for example, in the following situations:

  • The LN server has a trusted HP operating system. The passwd command asks additional questions and therefore expects additional input parameters.
  • You are logged in as user root. The passwd command only expects the following input parameters: old password- new password.

To find out if an error is caused by a parameter mismatch, start a UNIX shell and run the passwd command. In this way, you can see which input parameters are expected.

 

Current Password
Enter your current password. If you enter an incorrect password, the session prompts you again.
New Password
Enter your new password.
Confirm New Password
Enter your new password again. If the two entries of the new password do not match, the session prompts you again.
