SYNOPSIS

account ‑forgotPassword 
   ‑name account‑name
   {‑oracleFS oracle‑fs‑system | ‑sessionKey}

DESCRIPTION

Any administrator can run the account ‑forgotPassword command to request that the Oracle FS System send an email to the email address that is associated with a specified account. The email contains a password token and provides instructions that the account owner uses to reset the password. The password token is only valid for one hour. To reset the password using the FSCLI, the account owner runs the account ‑resetPassword command. Either the ‑oracleFS or ‑sessionkey options must be used in conjunction with the account ‑resetPassword command.

Note: Alternatively, the Primary administrator or Administrator 1 account can reset the password, including the passwords of the /⁠pillar or /⁠administrator accounts.

Note: Administrators with primary administrator, admin1, admin2, monitor, or support roles are authorized to run the account ‑forgotPassword command.

OPTIONS

‑name: Specifies the name of the account. Do not specify the fully qualified name (FQN) or unique identifier (ID) of the account.
‑oracleFS: Specifies the name of the Oracle FS System.
‑sessionkey: Directs the CLI to prompt you to supply a session key when you issue the command. The CLI displays Sessionkey: as the prompt. To obtain a session key, log in with the ‑returnKey option specified. After the session is established, the session key is displayed in STDOUT. If you request a session key, the ‑sessionkey option is required syntax for all commands that are issued in a given session. In environments with more than one Oracle FS System, the session key is used to determine to which Oracle FS System to direct the command for validation. Session keys are also used to establish two or more CLI sessions when using a shared administrator account.
