SunScreen SKIP User's Guide, Release 1.1

Removing Your Passphrase

To remove your passphrase, use the following procedure:

  1. Type


    skiplocal rmpasswd
    
  2. You will be prompted as follows:


    You are now removing the global passphrase which will be used 
    to encrypt all of your SKIP secrets
     Global passphrase:	<type your passphrase>

    If it matches, all locally stored secrets are decrypted and stored and the passphrase feature is disabled.

  3. To reinitialize your key manager, type


    skipd_restart
     
    

    You can use delpasswd as an alias for rmpasswd.
