Moab Accounting Manager > Managing passwords
Chapter 17: Managing passwords
Passwords must be established for each user who wishes to use the web-based GUI. Passwords must be at least eight characters and are stored in encrypted form. A gchpasswd command line client exists to aid a user or administrator in setting or changing a password. Other operations (deleting or listing password entries) must be performed using the interactive control program (goldsh). By default, a standard user may only set or change his or her own password. A system administrator may set or change any user's password.
Because Moab Accounting Manager caches password information for faster responsiveness, it will be necessary to restart the server after running gchpasswd for the GUI to accept that password change.
