💖 myproxy-admin-change-pass — the MyProxy manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so welcome to the MyProxy manual page for myproxy-admin-change-pass(8) — yes that's the section 8 one, the admin-y one, the one that lives on the server machine. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

myproxy-admin-change-pass — change credential passphrase 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

myproxy-admin-change-pass [ options ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea, bestie 🍓

The myproxy-admin-change-pass command changes the passphrase used to encrypt a credential in the MyProxy repository.

Here's the little flow it does, step by step:

1. It first prompts you for the current passphrase for the credential.
2. Then it prompts twice for the new passphrase.

And listen — if you give it an empty passphrase, the credential will not be encrypted. that's the vibe, that's the deal, no cap.

It accesses the repository directly, so it must be run on the machine where the myproxy-server(8) is installed, and from the account that owns the repository. like, you literally cannot do this remotely, it's giving very "on-prem only" energy 🙈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h — Displays command usage text and exits. bye bestie 👋
• -u — Displays command usage text and exits. (yes, same energy as -h, iconic of it)
• -s dir — Specifies the location of the credential storage directory. ⚠️ The directory must be accessible only by the user running the myproxy-server process, for security reasons — fr fr, don't skip that part. Default: /var/lib/myproxy or /var/myproxy or $GLOBUS_LOCATION/var/myproxy
• -l username — Specifies the MyProxy account under which the credential should be stored.
• -k name — Specifies the credential name.
• -S, --stdin_pass — By default, the command prompts for a passphrase and reads the passphrase from the active tty. But when you're running the command non-interactively, there may be no associated tty at all 😭. Specifying this option tells the command to read passphrases from standard input, with no prompts and no confirmation. very "I trust the pipe" of it.

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

• 0 on success 🎉
• >0 on error 💀
