						       TPM Management - tpm_setoperatorauth

NAME

       tpm_setoperatorauth - sets the operator authorization value in the TPM

SYNOPSIS

       tpm_setoperatorauth [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       tpm_setoperatorauth allows setting the operator authorization value in the TPM (via the TPM_SetOperatorAuth API).  This operation prompts
       for the new password and a confirmation of it. The --well-known option tells the API to use the default TSS_WELL_KNOWN_SECRET (a 20-bytes
       array of zeros) as operator authorization information, instead of prompting for one.

       -l, --log [none|error|info|debug]

       -u, --unicode

	      Use the default TSS_WELL_KNOWN_SECRET 20-bytes array of zeros as the operator password.
