Changing a Partition Role Credential

From time to time, you may need to change the credential for a role. The credential might have been compromised, or your organization's security policy may mandate password changes after a specific time interval. The following procedure allows you to change the credential for a partition role (Partition SO, Crypto Officer, Crypto User). You must first log in using the role's current credential.

To change a partition role credential

1.In LunaCM, log in using the role's current credential (see Logging In to the Application Partition).

2.Change the credential for the logged-in role (role changepw). If you are using a password-authenticated partition, specify a new password. If you are using a PED-authenticated partition, ensure that you have a blank or rewritable PED key available. Refer to Creating PED Keys for details on creating PED keys.

lunacm:>role changepw -name <role>

lunacm:> role changepw -name co

        enter existing password: ********

        enter new password: ********

        re-enter new password: ********

Command Result : No Error

3.To change the CO or CU challenge secret for an Activated PED-authenticated partition, specify the -oldpw and/or -newpw options (role changepw).

lunacm:>role changepw -name <role> -oldpw <oldpassword> -newpw <newpassword>

lunacm:> role changepw -name co -oldpw PASSWORD -newpw userpin

        This role has secondary credentials.   
        You are about to change the secondary credentials.
