Propagate Passwords

When a user changes a password using the sepass utility, the new password is normally sent to the computer's parent PMDB. The parent PMDB is defined in the parent_pmd or the passwd_pmd token in the [seos] section of the seos.ini file or in both. However, if the user changes the password with the utility sepass, you can also specify that the user's new password should be sent to and propagated by a separate PMDB.

To send a new user's password to a separate PMDB, use the pmdb parameter with the newusr, chusr, or editusr command.

Example: Specifying a separate PMDB for password propagation

To specify that the new passwords created with sepass for the user Tony should be sent to and propagated by a separate PMDB pw_pmdb@name1.yourorg.com, enter the following command:

editusr tony pmdb(pw_pmdb@name1.yourorg.com)
