SYNOPSIS

sxacl usernewkey [,OPTIONS/] ,<username> sx:///[,profile@/],cluster/

DESCRIPTION

sxacl usernewkey generates a new user authentication key based on a password or a random data, which automatically replaces the old one. A normal user can change its own key and a cluster administrator can change a key of any user.

Print help and exit

--full-help

Print help, including hidden options, and exit

By default sxacl works in interactive mode and asks for the user password on standard input. With this option it will read the password from the provided file.

-a, --auth-file=,FILE/

Store authentication key in a given file (instead of printing it).

-g, --generate-key

Automatically generate a new key based on a random data instead of a password.

-b, --batch-mode

--force-key=,KEY/

By default, the new authentication key is automatically generated. With this option one can force the use of an old key. Only a key that was previously generated for the same username will be accepted.
