NAME
       sxacl-usernewkey - change (password based) user authentication key

SYNOPSIS
       sxacl usernewkey [OPTIONS] <username> sx://[profile@]cluster

DESCRIPTION
       sxacl usernewkey generates a new user authentication key based on a
       password or a random data, which automatically replaces the old one. A
       normal user can change its own key and a cluster administrator can
       change a key of any user.

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
              Print help and exit

       --full-help
              Print help, including hidden options, and exit

       -V, --version
              Print version and exit

       -p, --pass-file=PATH
              By default sxacl works in interactive mode and asks for the user
              password on standard input. With this option it will read the
              password from the provided file.

       -a, --auth-file=FILE
              Store authentication key in a given file (instead of printing
              it).

       -g, --generate-key
              Automatically generate a new key based on a random data instead
              of a password.

       -b, --batch-mode
              Disable additional information and only print the automatically
              generated authentication key.

       --force-key=KEY
              By default, the new authentication key is automatically
              generated. With this option one can force the use of an old key.
              Only a key that was previously generated for the same username
              will be accepted.

       -c, --config-dir=PATH
              Path to the SX configuration directory (default: ~/.sx)

       -D, --debug
              Enable debug messages.

EXAMPLES
       To change the key of user 'joe' run:
           sxacl usernewkey joe sx://admin@cluster
