5.5 Manage Account Settings (using DMTF Model)
5.5.1 Modify User Name (using DMTF Model)
When the account setting capability allows, the user name of an account may be modified by
running a set operation on the
UserID
property of the
CIM_Account
class instance. The set operation
requires an instance reference. The instance reference may be retrieved by adding
EnumerateEPR
mode to enumerate or get of the class.

To set the user name and password for local accounts:
A) Enumerate CIM_Account with EPR to identify all possible instance information to be used in
a subsequent put or set operations.
EXAMPLE-A:
wsman enumerate "http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-
schema/2/CIM_Account
?__cimnamespace=root/dcim"
-h $IPADDRESS -V -v -c dummy.cert -P 443
-u $USERNAME -p $PASSWORD
When this command is executed, a list of objects will be returned. Below is a snippet of the output.
