ID: 14389 Title: Add cmk-passwd utility Component: setup Level: 1 Class: New feature Version: 2.2.0i1 This Werk adds the tool cmk-passwd. cmk-passwd can add and change Checkmk user passwords via the commandline, as could previously be achieved using htpasswd. Users are advised to use cmk-passwd instead of htpasswd to manage Checkmk user passwords from now on. To change a password with cmk-passwd, for example the password of cmkadmin, simply run C+: cmk-passwd cmkadmin C-: The tool will then prompt the password and ask you to re-type it for verification. See <tt>cmk-passwd -h</tt> for further options. cmk-passwd selects the correct password file location and password hashing algorithm for the installed version of Checkmk. Behind the scenes it currently still writes to the same file (<tt>etc/htpasswd</tt>) in htpasswd-compatible format. This might be changed in the future though.
