NAME

saslpasswd - set a user's sasl password

SYNOPSIS

saslpasswd [-p] [-d] [-c] [-u domain] [-a appname] userid

DESCRIPTION

saslpasswd is used by a server administrator to set a user's sasl password for server programs and SASL mechanisms which use the standard libsasl database of user secrets.

OPTIONS

-p: Pipe mode - saslpasswd will neither prompt for the password nor verify that it was entered correctly. This is the default when standard input is not a terminal.
-c: Creates an entry for the user if the user doesn't already exist. This is mutually exclusive with the -d (delete user) flag.
-d: Deletes the entry for the user. This is mutually exclusive with the -c (create user) flag.
-u domain: use domain for user domain (realm).
-a appname: use appname as application name.
