Password Command

The password command in the tib-activate CLI tool allows you to update the password for TIBCO Activation Service. Once the CLI is configured and a password is set, the session is valid for 12 hours. After 12 hours, the CLI prompts you to login again.

You can change the password in one of the following ways:

  • By using --old-pasword and --new-password or -o and -n flags. This is an unsecured way of changing the password.

    For example: 

    Copy 
    tib-activate password -o <oldpassword> -n <newpassword>
    User's password has been successfully updated. New user session is stored at ~/.tib-activate.profile and valid until 3:56AM

  • By using an interactive prompt which does not print passwords on the console.

    For example:

    Copy 
    tib-activate password
    Enter old Password [admin@https://activationserver.example.com:7070]:
    Password must be 8 or more characters in length. Password must contain 1 or more lowercase characters. Password must contain 1 or more uppercase characters. Password must contain 1 or more special characters. 
    Enter new Password: <user_input>
    Confirm new Password: <user_input>
    User's password has been successfully updated. New user session is stored at ~/.tib-activate.profile and valid until 3:45AM.
