3.8. Using an IPA command to modify a user account in IdM

Procedure

1. Open a terminal and connect to the IdM server.

2. Enter the ipa user-mod command, specify the user to modify, and any options, such as --password for adding a password:

   $ ipa user-mod euser --password

   The command runs a script where you can add the new password.

3. Enter the new password and press the Enter key.

   The IPA CLI prints the following output:

   ----------------------
   Modified user "euser"
   ----------------------
   User login: euser
   First name: Example
   Last name: User
   Home directory: /home/euser
   Principal name: euser@IDM.EXAMPLE.COM
   Principal alias: euser@IDM.EXAMPLE.COM
   Email address: euser@idm.example.com
   UID: 427200006
   GID: 427200006
   Password: True
   Member of groups: ipausers
   Kerberos keys available: True

   The user password is now set for the account and the user can log into IdM.
