HP Systems Insight Manager 6.0 Command Line Interface Guide

HP SIM passwords
The mxpassword command adds, removes, modifies, and lists SSH key passwords stored by HP SIM.
Passwords appear in clear text. When using this command, ensure that the passwords are protected.
To add a new password, enter:
# mxpassword –a –x key1=value1 [–x key2=value …]
# mxpassword –a –f file
• The –x option assigns password value to password key name key. There can be multiple key and value
pairs provided to the add command.
• The –f option adds the passwords defined in the file. This is a more secure option because the passwords
are not available for viewing on the terminal screen, or in the command line history.
To modify an existing password, enter:
# mxpassword –m –x key1=newvalue [–x key2=newvalue …]
To remove existing passwords, enter:
# mxpassword –r –x key1 [–x key2 …]
To list existing passwords, enter:
# mxpassword –l [–x key …]
If you provide specific keys using the –x option, the passwords for those keys display. Otherwise, all known
passwords appear. The mxpassword command uses the follow options:
• The –g option launches a GUI.
• The –c option checks for the existence of a key store.
• The –n option creates a new server certificate.
