As a System Administrator, you must use the N3uron Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage the passwords and two-factor authentication settings.

Setting a User Password

Use the following commands based on your operating system:

Windows

To set a new password for a user on a Windows system, open a PowerShell terminal and execute the following command:

& "C:\Program Files\N3uron\bin\n3uron.exe" user set password <username> <new-password>

Linux

To set a new password for a user on a Linux system, open a Bash terminal and execute the following command:

/opt/n3uron/bin/n3uron user set password <username> <new-password>

Note

Replace <username> and <new-password> with the actual user account name and the desired new password.

Expiring a User Password

Expiring a user's password marks it as invalid and forces the user to set a new password upon their next successful login.

Use the following commands based on your operating system:

Windows

To expire a password for a user on a Windows system, open a PowerShell terminal and execute the following command:

& "C:\Program Files\N3uron\bin\n3uron.exe" user expire password <username>

Linux

To expire a password for a user on a Linux system, open a Bash terminal and execute the following command:

/opt/n3uron/bin/n3uron user expire password <username>

Note

Replace <username> with the actual user account name.

Resetting Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

If a user loses access to their 2FA authenticator and is unable to log in, the System Administrator can reset the 2FA settings for a specific user to restore access.

Windows

To reset the 2FA for a user on a Windows system, open a PowerShell terminal and execute the following command:

& "C:\Program Files\N3uron\bin\n3uron.exe" user reset 2fa local <username>

Linux

To reset the 2FA for a user on a Linux system, open a Bash terminal and execute the following command:

/opt/n3uron/bin/n3uron user reset 2fa local <username>

Note

Replace <username> with the actual user account name.
