Sets the password for a user.
Sybase recommends that you do not pass new passwords
on the command line, particularly on UNIX systems, where another
user can see the new password by running the ps command
to view current operating system processes.
set-password user[@domain] [new-password]
Option |
Specifies |
|---|---|
user |
The user name. |
|
The domain that the user name belongs to. If not specified, the default is “default”. |
new-password |

Password rules are determined by properties of the security domain (see “Setting domain properties,” in the EAServer Security Administration and Programming Guide), and can be changed by the system administrator. By default passwords are case sensitive and must meet all these requirements:
Be composed entirely of letters and the digits 0 – 9
Contain at least six characters
Contain at least one digit
Contain at least two letters
