Hi.
Our server is running version 3.1 AIX and i'm currently using version
3.1
win32 intel of the client applications. My question is ... is there a way
to remotely change the password of a node that is different than the
current node you are connecting to the server as?
for example... i'm connecting to the server as nodeA. is there a way
from
either the GUI or the command line application to remotely change the
password of nodeB? This is assuming I know what the password to nodeB is
originally, which I do. I've tried using the "set password" command. But
it only seems to work with the node you're connected as. I couldn't find
any option to specify a different nodename.
My reason for asking is that I don't have any administrative access to
the
server. That's being handled in a different department. But I do have
about 40 users that I "administer" that I would like to keep their
passwords current. Our ADSM administrator is expiring passwords after 90
days. So every 80 days or so I have to change their passwords to the same
password before they expire. We currently are using the dsmc schedule
-password=notell command to start their scheduling. Security isn't a
problem. I just don't want to have to go around every 3 months when the
problem. I just don't want to have to go around every 3 months when the
users change their passwords to something different and their schedulers no
longer work.
Any idea?
