Configuring a Windows password

When you create a consumer, if you specify a Windows user account that has not already been configured, you must set the password before you can continue.

About this task

Configure the password of every new Windows execution account that you introduce into the system. (The egoadmin account is configured during installation.)

Use the same command to update the system if the execution account password changes. You must register the new password in EGO every time the execution account password changes in Windows.
Restriction:

The password must be 31 characters or fewer.

Procedure

  1. Log on to a host as egoadmin.
  2. Log on to EGO as an EGO authentication user.

    egosh user logon -u user_name -x password

    For example, type

    egosh user logon -u Admin -x Admin

  3. To configure the Windows password, run

    egosh ego execpasswd -u user_name -x password

    For example, if the account is mydomain\user2, type

    egosh ego execpasswd -u mydomain\user2 -x mypasswd

    Note: If you want to set the password for a Windows domain user from a Linux® host, enclose the Windows domain name in quotation marks:

    egosh ego execpasswd -u "mydomain\user2" -x mypasswd
