CLI command to update password manually is not working

Products

• CA Privileged Access Manager (PAM)
• CA Privileged Access Manager - Cloakware Password Authority (PA)
• CA Privileged Access Manager - Server Control (PAMSC)

Issue/Introduction

Hi Team,

Below command is not working as expected
./capam_command -n pam_host -u super cmdName=updateTargetAccountPassword TargetServer.hostName=ip_address TargetApplication.name=application_name TargetAccount.userName=pamadmin password=DE%kdp8& confirmPassword=DE%kdp8&.


 <CommandResult><cr.itemNumber>0</cr.itemNumber><cr.statusCode>401</cr.statusCode><cr.statusDescription>PAM-CM-0567: Failed to authenticate with the Password Authority service.</cr.statusDescription></CommandResult>


Looks like its taking password parameter for super's password.

Environment

Release : 3.4.x, 4.0.x

Component : PRIVILEGED ACCESS MANAGEMENT

Resolution

Here is a working example from PAM 3.4 version

./capam_command cspmHostName=pam34x01.net adminUserID=test adminPassword=Password01 cmdName=updateTargetAccountPassword \

"TargetServer.hostName=10.10.10.10" "TargetApplication.name=LABS-AD" "TargetAccount.userName=pamadmin3" \

"password=PAS-AbCdEf@12345" "confirmPassword=PAS-AbCdEf@12345"

Abobe (\) is used to put the command over multiple lines if they are big.Please review this document and the TIP it has for more details -
