Easily Manage Cell, Switch, Database, and Exacli Passwords

Use Oracle Autonomous Health Framework (AHF) commands to manage passwords for Exadata cells, switches, databases, and exacli.

Note:

The tfactl setpassword, tfactl checkpassword, and tfactl unsetpassword commands are deprecated starting with AHF 21.1. Oracle recommends using the corresponding ahfctl commands instead:

  • ahfctl setpassword
  • ahfctl checkpassword
  • ahfctl unsetpassword

The following tfactl commands are deprecated:

  • tfactl setpassword
  • tfactl checkpassword
  • tfactl unsetpassword

Syntax

The setpassword command uses the following syntax:

tfactl setpassword [-nodes <nodes>] [-dbs <databases>] [-user <user>] [-exacli]

The options are:

OptionDescription
-nodesSpecifies a comma-separated list of nodes.
-dbsSpecifies a comma-separated list of database names.
-userSpecifies the user name for which the password is being configured.
-exacliSpecifies that the password is for the exacli user of an Exadata cell.

For new configurations, use the corresponding ahfctl commands instead of the deprecated tfactl password-management commands.
