NAME

       grid-change-pass-phrase - Change the passphrase of a private key

SYNOPSIS

       grid-change-pass-phrase [-help] [-usage] [-version] [-versions]

       grid-change-pass-phrase [-file PRIVATE-KEY]

DESCRIPTION

       The grid-change-pass-phrase program changes the passphrase protecting a
       private key or PKCS12 bundle containing a private key and certificate.
       By default, grid-change-pass-phrase uses the X509_USER_KEY environment
       variable to locate the private key. If that is not set, then it looks
       for $HOME/.globus/userkey.pem and $HOME/.globus/usercred.p12 in
       succession. The path to a key can be specified by using the -file
       command-line option.

       The full set of command-line options to grid-change-pass-phrase are:

       -help, -usage
           Display the command-line options to grid-change-pass-phrase and
           exit.

       -version, -versions

           instead of the default.
