SASLPASSWD2(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    SASLPASSWD2(8)

NAME

       saslpasswd2 - set a user's sasl password

SYNOPSIS

       saslpasswd2 [-p] [-d] [-c] [-n] [-f file] [-u domain] [-a appname] [-v] userid

DESCRIPTION

       saslpasswd2  is used by a server administrator to set a user's sasl password for server programs and SASL mechanisms which use the standard
       libsasl database of user secrets.

OPTIONS

       -p     Pipe mode - saslpasswd2 will neither prompt for the password nor verify that it was entered correctly.  This  is	the  default  when
	      standard input is not a terminal.

       -c     Creates an entry for the user if the user doesn't already exist.	This is mutually exclusive with the -d (delete user) flag.

       -d     Deletes the entry for the user.  This is mutually exclusive with the -c (create user) flag.

       -n     Don't set the plaintext userPassword property for the user.  Only mechanism-specific secrets will be set (e.g. OTP, SRP)

       -u domain
	      use domain for user domain (realm).

       -f file
	      use file for sasldb

       -a appname
	      use appname as application name.

       -v     Print libsasl2 version number and exit.
