SYNOPSIS

       grid-change-pass-phrase [-help] [-usage] [-version] [-versions]

       grid-change-pass-phrase [-file PRIVATE-KEY]

DESCRIPTION

       The grid-change-pass-phrase program changes the passphrase protecting a private key or PKCS12 bundle containing a private key and
       certificate. By default, grid-change-pass-phrase uses the X509_USER_KEY environment variable to locate the private key. If that is not set,
       then it looks for $HOME/.globus/userkey.pem and $HOME/.globus/usercred.p12 in succession. The path to a key can be specified by using the
       -file command-line option.
