your password when you log on to NCI, see the Neoview Command Interface (NCI) Guide. For more
information about the HPDM Change Password dialog and how to navigate to it either from the
Edit System dialog or at logon, see the HPDM Online Help.
User Management Commands
This section describes the NCI commands available for managing users and roles on Neoview.
For task descriptions, see “User Management Tasks” (page 96).
Commands are listed in alphabetical order.
NOTE: Syntax diagrams in this section include .SEC, which is required only if you give a
command in NCI SQL mode. If you set security mode in advance, as described in “Security
Mode” (page 29), you can omit .SEC from subsequent command lines.
ALTER PASSWORD Command (platform users, locally authenticated database users)
This command allows a platform user or a locally authenticated database user to change his or
her password if the password has not yet expired or is within the grace period configured for
the platform.
No Neoview client provides a means of setting or changing passwords for remotely authenticated
database users. Those passwords are managed on the external directory server.
Syntax
[.SEC] ALTER PASSWORD [SELF]
[.SEC] ALTER PASSWORD {SELF [,OLD-PASSWORD [oldpassword],NEW-PASSWORD [newpassword]]}
There are two forms of this command:
• If you don't intend to specify either the old or the new password on the command line, you
can use the simpler form of the command, which consists of the command keyword ALTER
