Specify a user-password using terminal which works for all services

I need to be able to change some users passwords automatically with a script… is there a possibility to set a users password from the commandline without any interaction so it is a normal user-password as if it was entered on user-creation uisng the web-gui?

Hey,

this can be done via the UDM CLI:

root@pdn:~# udm users/user modify --dn "uid=testy,dc=test,dc=intranet" --set password=NewPassword
Object modified: uid=testy,dc=test,dc=intranet

Glad you found it yourself, regarding other attributes you can get a list via udm users/user --help:
