Synopsis
- rgy_passwd [ –pas/sword tag-registry-password ]
Description
UNIX and Linux systems
The rgy_passwd command
places an encrypted password in the VOB tag password file: /var/adm/rational/clearcase/rgy/vob_tag.sec on
the network's registry server host. This file need not already exist.
Knowledge of this password enables an administrator
to create public VOBs. Nonprivileged users can mount public VOBs by using
the ClearCase mount command.
For more information about public VOBs, see the mkvob, mktag,
and mount reference pages.
Windows systems
The rgy_passwd command
creates a Security subkey in the Windows Registry and places an encrypted
VOB tag password in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Atria\ClearCase\CurrentVersion\Security
\RegPasswd. The Security subkey and RegPasswd value
exist only on the registry server host.
Knowledge of this password enables a user
to create public VOBs. For more information about public VOBs, see the mkvob, mktag,
and mount reference pages.
Restrictions
Identities
- UNIX and Linux: If the vob_tag.sec file
does not exist, you must be root. If the vob_tag.sec file
exists, you must be the owner of that file.
Note: rgy_passwd maintains the access mode of the
vob_tag.sec file
at 400®.
You need not use
chmod(1) before or after entering
rgy_passwd.
- Windows: No special identity is required.
Note: The administrator should
apply a security access control list (ACL) to the
Security subkey to
prevent users from directly editing the password in the registry. Assign full
control to authorized users (users allowed to change the password; for example,
the network administrator), and read permissions to all other users.
Mastership
(Replicated VOBs only) No mastership restrictions.
Other
You must run rgy_passwd on
the registry server host.
Options and arguments
By default, rgy_passwd prompts
you to type the new password.
- –pas/sword tag-registry-password
- Specifies the password on the command line.
Important: This is a security risk because the password remains visible.
UNIX and Linux files
/var/adm/rational/clearcase/rgy/vob_tag.sec
Diagnostics
This command must be executed on the network's
registry server host.
A vob_tag.sec file already
exists, and you are not its owner.
Example
Create a VOB tag registry password interactively.

Password:<enter VOB tag password>
