SYNOPSIS

taler-merchant-passwd [-c FILENAME | --config=‌FILENAME] [-h | --help] [-L LOGLEVEL | --loglevel=‌LOGLEVEL] [-l FILENAME | --logfile=‌FILENAME] [-i**_*NAME* | **--instanceNAME] [-v | --version] [PASSWORD]

DESCRIPTION

taler-merchant-passwd is a command-line tool to reset passwords of existing Taler instances. The password must either be specified as the last command-line argument or in the TALER_MERCHANT_PASSWORD environment variable.

Usually, the instance for which the password is being set must already exist. However, as a special exception, if the instance specified is the "admin" instance, then it is created (with sensible defaults) if it does not yet exist.

Its options are as follows:

-c FILENAME | --config=‌FILENAME
    Use the configuration and other resources for the merchant to operate from FILENAME.

-h | --help
    Print short help on options.

-i NAME | --instanceNAME
    Specifies the name of the instance for which the password should be updated. If not given, the "admin" instance is modified.

-L LOGLEVEL | --loglevel=‌LOGLEVEL
    Specifies the log level to use. Accepted values are: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR.

-l FILENAME | --logfile=‌FILENAME
    Send logging output to FILENAME.

-v | –version
    Print version information.
