Note: It is not possible to manage your own account with this command unless you are changing a password with -changePassword.

stcmd{ex} manage-user -s "userName:password@host:port" -logonName userlogonName [-suspend] [ -activate ] [ -forcePasswordChange ] [ -forceLogoff ] [ -changePassword newPassword

Parameter

Description

-logonName Designates the user you want to manage. -logonName is required for all uses of this command. Type the users logon name.
-suspend Suspends the designated user account.
-activate Activates the designated user account.
-forcePasswordChange Forces a password change for the designated user account.
-forceLogoff Forces the designated user to logoff.
-changePassword newPassword Changes the designated users password to the specified new password. This is the only parameter where a user can change their own account.

Example

The following examples can be used by and administrator to manage another user account:

manage-user –s “Administrator:password@host:port”  -logonName “joeuser” –suspend
manage-user –s “Administrator:password@host:port”  -logonName “joeuser” –activate
manage-user –s “Administrator:password@host:port”  -logonName “joeuser” –forceLogoff
manage-user –s “Administrator:password@host:port”  -logonName “joeuser” –changePassword “joepassword”

A non-administrative user can also run this command, but only to change his/her own password as follows:

manage-user –s “joeuser:password@host:port”  -logonName joeuser –changePassword “mynewpassword”

Note: In this case, -logonName specifies the same name as the login user name.
