22 <P>Returns the DCE password for a new DCE account
23 <P><STRONG>Synopsis</STRONG>
24 <PRE><B>dpass</B> [<B>-cell</B> <<VAR>original AFS cell name</VAR>>] [<B>-help</B>]
26 <B>dpass</B> [<B>-c</B> <<VAR>original AFS cell name</VAR>>] [<B>-h</B>]
28 <P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
29 <P>The <B>dpass</B> command returns the DCE password that an administrator
30 assigned to the issuer when using the <B>dm pass</B> command to migrate
31 AFS user accounts into a DCE cell.
32 <P>The <B>dpass</B> command, issued on an AFS client, requests the
33 issuer's new DCE password from the AFS cell specified with the
34 <B>-cell</B> argument.
35 <P>The issuer must be authenticated as the AFS user whose AFS account was
36 moved into DCE, and be able to provide the user's AFS password when
37 prompted by the <B>dpass</B> command.
38 <P><STRONG>Options</STRONG>
41 </B><DD>Specifies the name of the AFS cell from which the AFS account was moved
42 into DCE and from which to fetch the new DCE password.
44 </B><DD>Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
47 <P><STRONG>Output</STRONG>
48 <P>By default, the <B>dpass</B> command writes a message similar to the
49 following to the standard output stream.
50 <PRE> Please read the following message before entering your password.
52 This program will display your new, temporary DCE password on your
53 terminal, and you should change the assigned password as soon as
54 possible (from a DCE client). The program assumes that the AFS cell
55 uses the AFS Authentication Server and that an administrator used the
56 utilities in the AFS/DFS Migration Toolkit to migrate the account from
57 AFS to DCE. The password you enter should be the AFS password that was
58 in effect when your DCE account was created; this is not necessarily
59 the same password you have at the moment. The cell name (which you
60 may override with a command line option), must be the name of the AFS
61 cell from which the authentication information was taken.
64 <P>To suppress this message, set the DPASS_NO_MESSAGE environment
65 variable. It is then possible to substitute a customized message if
66 desired by using a script similar to the following example:
68 echo "<VAR>Start of customized message</VAR>"
69 echo "<VAR>Continuation of customized message</VAR>"
73 echo "<VAR>Conclusion of customized message</VAR>"
74 setenv DPASS_NO_MESSAGE
78 <P>After the standard or customized message, if any, the <B>dpass</B>
79 command generates the following prompt for the original AFS password:
80 <PRE> Original password for AFS cell <VAR>cell</VAR>:
81 Re-enter password to verify:
84 <P>If the AFS passwords match and are correct, the command reports the
85 temporary DCE password in the following message.
86 <PRE> The new DCE password is: <VAR>Issuer's_temporary_DCE_password</VAR>
89 <P><STRONG>Examples</STRONG>
90 <P>The following example returns the DCE password of the issuer, whose AFS
91 account is in the <B>abc.com</B> cell. The DPASS_NO_MESSAGE
92 variable has been set to suppress the standard message.
94 Original password for AFS cell abc.com: <VAR>Issuer's_AFS_password</VAR>
95 Re-enter password to verify: <VAR>Issuer's_AFS_password</VAR>
96 The new DCE password is: 8655--eg8e-dcdc-8157
99 <P><STRONG>Privilege Required</STRONG>
100 <P>The issuer must be authenticated as the AFS user for whom to display the
101 corresponding DCE password.
