Password File Maintenance

The password file contains details of user-IDs and passwords that the Fileshare Server uses when Fileshare Password Security is enabled. Because the information in the password file is encrypted for security reasons, you can only add records to and remove records from the password file using the Password File Maintenance Utility.

Use the /pf (password file) option to add or remove entries in the password file, for example:

fs /pf pass.dat [options]

This invokes password file maintenance and appends the specified options to the password file pass.dat. If this file does not exist, it is created.

The following options are available:

Examples

fs /pf pass.dat /u pkel /pw fishwife

This example invokes password file maintenance, creates or updates a password file called pass.dat and adds a user-ID of pkel and password of fishwife.

fs /pf pass.dat /clp

This example upgrades a password file that was created using Enterprise Developer prior to version 3.0. The upgraded password file now supports long usernames and passwords.
