19 <title>Description</title>
20 <para>The <emphasis role="bold">dpass</emphasis> command returns the DCE password that an administrator
21 assigned to the issuer when using the <emphasis role="bold">dm pass</emphasis> command to migrate AFS
22 user accounts into a DCE cell.</para>
24 <para>The <emphasis role="bold">dpass</emphasis> command, issued on an AFS client, requests the issuer's new
25 DCE password from the AFS cell specified with the <emphasis role="bold">-cell</emphasis> argument.</para>
27 <para>The issuer must be authenticated as the AFS user whose AFS account was
28 moved into DCE, and be able to provide the user's AFS password when
29 prompted by the <emphasis role="bold">dpass</emphasis> command.</para>

38 <para>Specifies the name of the AFS cell from which the AFS account was moved

55 <para>By default, the dpass command writes a message similar to the following to
56 the standard output stream.</para>
59 Please read the following message before entering your password.
63 This program will display your new, temporary DCE password on your
64 terminal, and you should change the assigned password as soon as
65 possible (from a DCE client). The program assumes that the AFS cell
66 uses the AFS Authentication Server and that an administrator used the
67 utilities in the AFS/DFS Migration Toolkit to migrate the account from
68 AFS to DCE. The password you enter should be the AFS password that was
69 in effect when your DCE account was created; this is not necessarily
70 the same password you have at the moment. The cell name (which you may
71 override with a command line option), must be the name of the AFS cell
72 from which the authentication information was taken.
75 <para>To suppress this message, set the DPASS_NO_MESSAGE environment
76 variable. It is then possible to substitute a customized message if
77 desired by using a script similar to the following example:</para>
81 echo "I&lt;Start of customized message&gt;"
82 echo "I&lt;Continuation of customized message&gt;"
86 echo "I&lt;Conclusion of customized message&gt;"
87 setenv DPASS_NO_MESSAGE
91 <para>After the standard or customized message, if any, the dpass command
92 generates the following prompt for the original AFS password:</para>
95 Original password for AFS cell &lt;cell&gt;:
96 Re-enter password to verify:
99 <para>If the AFS passwords match and are correct, the command reports the
100 temporary DCE password in the following message.</para>
103 The new DCE password is: &lt;Issuer's_temporary_DCE_password
108 <title>Examples</title>
109 <para>The following example returns the DCE password of the issuer, whose AFS
110 account is in the <computeroutput>abc.com</computeroutput> cell. The DPASS_NO_MESSAGE variable has been
111 set to suppress the standard message.</para>
115 Original password for AFS cell abc.com: &lt;Issuer's_AFS_password&gt;
116 Re-enter password to verify: &lt;Issuer's_AFS_password&gt;
117 The new DCE password is: 8655--eg8e-dcdc-8157
122 <title>Privilege Required</title>
123 <para>The issuer must be authenticated as the AFS user for whom to display the
124 corresponding DCE password.</para>
