tmsh don't recognise encrypted-password option
hello,
i'm would like to change the root and admin password on my f5. I have more than one and doing this on every one is not an option.
This is the error i'm getting:
(Standby)(tmos) modify /auth user admin encrypted-password "$1$.0....0"
Syntax Error: "encrypted-password" read-only property
My sw version is:
Standby)(tmos.sys.version) show
Sys::Version
Main Package
Product BIG-IP
Version 10.2.0
Build 1789.0
Edition Hotfix HF2

According to the documentation this options encrypted-password should be supported.
Ive research thin and
1, http://support.f5.com/content/kb/en..._Guide.pdf
it should be supported base on the tmsh documentation
2, there are not known issues for the sw release the customer has as far as i can see
http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/prod...0-2-4.html
3. there is nothing on askf5, devcentral or google about it as wel.
Can someboby give me an advise how to change the pass in an automatic NON-INTERACTIVE way?
Thanks
Rado

A few things to consider:
1. It appears to work in v11.3. Not sure when it was resolved.
2. Are you sure you want to use encrypted-password? Simply using the password option with a clear text string will create an encrypted password value for the user object. - I've tested this and it doesn't work on my system. Why do you believe this 'password' option should work? We can''t upgrade to v11.
(tmos) modify /auth user admin password mytestpass

Ah, you are correct. Unless I'm missing something, v10 does not offer a non-interactive way to set the password in TMSH.
