Note that only a user for which authentication is set to local can change their password.

If you change your password, your session is deleted.

Role-based execution is not subject to restriction.

  1. Change your own password.

    Run either of the following commands with the user ID, current password, and new password specified.

    REST API: PATCH /v1/objects/users/<userId>/password

    CLI: user_password_set

    After running the command, you receive a response indicating user information.

    The changed password has an expiration time. You can confirm the expiration time from the user information that is displayed as a result of running the command. The default expiration time is 42 days.

  2. (Virtual machine)(Bare metal) Back up the configuration information.

    Perform this step by referring to Backing up the configuration information (Virtual machine)(Bare metal).

    If you continue operations with other procedures, you must back up the configuration information after you have completed all operations.

    CAUTION:

    When changing the password of the user issuing the authentication ticket, issue an authentication ticket again after the change.

    Note:
    • (Bare metal)(Cloud) If requiresInitialPasswordReset is set to "true" in the user authentication settings, the console interface is not available to any users for which passwords were set by using the procedures described in Creating a user and Editing user information. The console interface becomes available by using this function.

    • (Bare metal)(Cloud) Password changes are applied to the console interface by internal processing that is performed at 1-minute intervals and message KARS20067-I is output. Therefore, it takes some time for this operation to complete.
