💖 tpmtoken_setpasswd 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual corner of the TPM Management universe — this is the page for tpmtoken_setpasswd(1) and it's literally about changing your passwords, let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

tpmtoken_setpasswd — change the password(s) associated with the user's TPM PKCS#11 data store

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tpmtoken_setpasswd [ OPTION ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So tpmtoken_setpasswd is the girl whose whole job is changing the password(s) associated with your data store. That's it, that's the assignment 💅

Here's the lore: PKCS#11 requires a password (or PIN) for the Security Officer (SO) and for the User. Those two passwords get set when the data store is initialized. This command is what lets you change either one of them. Iconic, honestly.

Now for the flags, no cap, every single one:

• -h, --help — Display command usage info.
• -v, --version — Display command version info.
• -l, --log [none|error|info|debug] — Set logging level.
• -k, --token STRING — Use STRING to identify the label of the PKCS#11 token to be used
• -s, --security-officer — Set the Security Officer password instead of the User password

ngl, that -s one is the plot twist of the whole page — without it you're changing the User password, with it you're changing the SO password. Choose your fighter wisely 🙈
