ALIASES

This cmdlet has the following aliases,

DESCRIPTION

Set the password of an entry. The entry to modify can be fetched by its id or by a PSConnection object obtained from Get-RDMEntry, New-RDMEntry, Get-RDMPersonalCredentials, or Get-RDMPrivilegedAccount. In the latter case, the local object will be modified. To modify the password, the user must have the appropriate rights: add for a new entry, and edit for an existing one. For data source supporting the password age, it is also possible to modify that value for the new password. It can be used to indicate when the password was generated instead of when the password has been set in the entry.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

PS C:> $entry = New-RDMEntry -Type Credential -Name 'NewCredEntry'; $entry.Credentials.UserName = 'MyUserName'; Set-RDMEntryPassword -InputObject $entry -Password (Read-Host -AsSecureString -Prompt 'Password') Set-RDMEntry -InputObject $entry

The user create a new credential entry. Its username and password are being set. The call to Set-RDMEntryPassword does modify the local object. The user can do more modifications if desired. The last line finally save the new entry.

EXAMPLE 2

PS C:> $pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -String 'passwordFr0mSomewhereElse'; Get-RDMEntry -Name 'EntryToModify' | Set-RDMEntryPassword -Password $pwd -PasswordAge 14 -Set -Refresh

The entry named 'EntryToModify' will have an updated password, the one stored in $pwd, and it will be aged of 14 days.

EXAMPLE 3

PS C:> Get-RDMEntry -Name 'UniqueName' | Set-RDMEntryDomain -Domain 'MyOtherDomain.com' -PassThru | Set-RDMEntryPassword -Password $securePassword -PassThru | Set-RDMEntryUsername -UserName 'NewUserName' -PassThru | Set-RDMEntry

Modify the domain, password and username of the entry named 'UniqueName'. The variable $securePassword is a secure string previously set. Persist the modification with the Set-RDMEntry call.
