NAME
grid-change-pass-phrase - Change the passphrase of a private key 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. The full set of command-line options to grid-change-pass-phrase are: -help, -usage Display the command-line options to grid-change-pass-phrase and exit. -version, -versions Display the version number of the grid-change-pass-phrase command. The second form includes more details. -file PRIVATE-KEY Change the passphrase of the private key named by PRIVATE-KEY instead of the default. EXAMPLES
Change the passphrase of the default private key: % grid-change-pass-phrase Enter pass phrase for /home/juser/.globus/userkey.pem: writing RSA key Enter PEM pass phrase: Verifying - Enter PEM pass phrase: ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of grid-change-pass-phrase: X509_USER_KEY Path to the default private key file. AUTHOR
