Description
This command can be used to reset the service assistant IP address to a new value. If the -default parameter is provided, it resets the service assistant IP address to the default value.
If the -resetpassword parameter is provided, the superuser password for the system is reset to the value provided. The superuser password cannot be reset back to the default password. If the node or canister is active in a system, the superuser password for the system is reset; otherwise, the superuser password is reset on the individual node canister. If the node canister later becomes active in a system, the superuser password is reset to that of the system. You can configure the system to disable resetting the superuser password, see Managing the password reset feature using the CLI. If you disable that function, this action fails.
This action calls the satask chserviceip command and the satask resetpassword command.
