KOPANO-PASSWD(1)

📦 version 8.7.0, in ubuntu jammy

💖 KOPANO-PASSWD 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're changing passwords today and it's giving very secure, very slay. this is kopano-passwd, the little tool that changes a Kopano user's password. that's the whole job. she's a specialist. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

kopano-passwd ACTION [OPTION...]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, this tool changes a user password. that's it, that's the gig. but — and this is the important part, no cap — the storage server has to be running or kopano-passwd literally cannot do its thing. so go make sure that's up first, okay? 🫶

if you give it no action, it just prints an error message at you. rude but fair. and if you hand it invalid actions, or not enough options for an action, guess what? error message. again. it's very consistent about this. 😭

also big one: Kopano passwd works only with the dbplugin. that's it, that's the plugin, don't come at her with anything else. please see the EXTERNAL USERS() section for more info (iykyk).

🎀 ACTIONS 🎀

kopano-passwd needs an action command plus the appropriate options. no action, no password change, periodt. the valid actions are:

  • -u username — update the password. valid parameters are: [-p] and -o. by default the password can be entered on the password prompt, and the password will not be shown. so like, type it blind, bestie, no one's watching. 🙈

✨ OPTIONS ✨

here's everything the actions can use:

  • -p 'new password' — sets a new password for a user. this one is only valid together with -o. they're a package deal, fr fr. 💖
  • -o oldpassword — the old password of a user. this one is only valid together with -p. see? told you. matching set. 🎀
  • --host, -h path — connect to the storage server through path, e.g. file:///path/to/socket. default is file:///var/run/kopano/server.sock. this option can always be specified, no matter what. she's flexible like that. 🌈
