The account creation process requires establishing an initial password, which is either agreed upon with the user when submitting the User Registration Form or assigned by the administrator, who notifies the user in a secure manner. Since often the only means of contact with the user is by phone or email.
It is recommended that the account owner, after the initial login to the KDM servers, changes their password to one known only to them.
The password must be created according to the appropriate password policy.
The change of password is demonstrated in the following example:
Example: CHANGE PASSWORD
user1@bem> passwd
Zmienianie hasła użytkownika user1.
Enter login(LDAP) password: [write old password]
New password: [write new password]
Re-enter new password: [repeat new password]
More details can be found in the manuals available in the system (by executing the man passwd command
).
