DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS

These are the available options:

  • -a, --authValue=STRING:

    The new UTF-8 password. Optional parameter. If it is neglected then the user is queried interactively for a password. To set no password, this option should be used with the empty string (""). The maximum password size is determined by the digest size of the chosen name hash algorithm in the cryptographic profile (cf., fapi-profile(5)). For example, choosing SHA256 as hash algorithm, allows passwords of a maximum size of 32 characters.

  • -p, --entityPath=STRING:

    The path identifying the entity to modify.
