SSH Reference Manual
<oldusername> 
A valid GUARDIAN user who owns the password entry in the user database before renaming it. If <oldusername> is 
omitted, either the user being set with a previously issued ASSUME USER command or the issuer of the RENAME 
PASSWORD command will be used as the default. If <oldusername> is specified, it MUST be followed by a ':' to 
separate it from the password name. 
<oldremoteuser> 
A user name of the targeted system. 
<oldtargethost> 
The IP address or the DNS name of the targeted system. 
<oldtargetport> 
The listening port of the remote SSH server. If this optional attribute is omitted, the default of 22 is used. 
<newusername> 
A valid GUARDIAN user who will own the password entry in the SSHCTL database after the rename. Only 
SUPER.SUPER user (unless explicitly denied in OBJECTTYPE USER record) or those configured with full SSHCOM 
access can issue a RENAME command where <newusername> is different from <oldusername>.  
If <oldusername> and/or <newusername> is omitted, either the user being set with a previously issued ASSUME USER 
command or the issuer of the RENAME PASSWORD command will be used as the default user. 
If <newusername> is specified, it MUST be followed by a ':' to separate it from the password name. 
<newremoteuser> 
A user name of the targeted system. 
<newtargethost> 
The IP address or the DNS name of the targeted system. 
<newtargetport> 
The listening port of the remote SSH server. If this optional attribute is omitted, the default of 22 is used. 
THAW PASSWORD 
The THAW PASSWORD command thaws a password. The command has the following syntax: 
THAW PASSWORD [<system-user-name>:]<remote-user>@<target-host>[:<target-port>] 
The individual attributes are identical as in the DELETE PASSWORD command, please see that section for details. 
Only the SUPER.SUPER user (unless explicitly denied in OBJECTTYPE USER record) or those configured with full 
SSHCOM access can thaw a password entry for other system users.
