How to change a UI user's password?

Problem

How can I change the password of a user account used to log in to the CFT UI?

Resolution

That will depend on the authentication method you're using (the value of the UCONF setting copilot.restapi.authentication_method):

If it's "system," then the user's password is changed in the OS.

If it's "am," then it's in some other external access manager, such as Passport or Flow Manager.

If it's "xfbadm," then you can change the password using the xfbadmusr utility - the syntax is xfbadmusr modify -l NAME -p PASSWORD. (You can also use that utility to create new user accounts.)
