SET MASTER PASSWORD

Change master password for Connections Definition File

Arguments

none. Command will prompt for old and new password

Examples

SET MASTER PASSWORD;

Notes

Changes the master password protecting the CDF (Connections Definition File) itself: SET MASTER PASSWORD, no arguments - runs as an interactive prompt.

Asks for the current master password to re-authenticate, then for the new password twice for verification. On success, the current connection is closed, the CDF is re-encrypted with the new master password, and the session is asked to log in again with it - this affects every connection defined in the CDF, not just the one currently open.

Aborts without making any change if authentication fails, the new password is blank, or the two entries for the new password don't match.
