I'd like to know the tools script in
/opt/www/iredadmin/tools/reset_user_password.py

can be used for batch reset password, in my test case, somewhere it doesn't work.

It generate SSHA512 hash and somehow reset will not work ,
I copy out the sql and change it to SSHA hash and mysql it, then it  works.

Thank you.

Re: Reset password from CLI

i created an own script for that:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
if [ X"$#" != X'2' ]; then
    echo "invalid argument"
    echo "bash ./mailboxpw.sh user@domain.tld password"
    exit 255
fi

# Read input
mailbox="$1"
password="$2"

#Crypt Password
CRYPT_PASSWD="$(doveadm pw -s 'ssha512' -p ${password})"

cat <<EOF
UPDATE mailbox SET password = '${CRYPT_PASSWD}' WHERE username = '${mailbox,,}';
EOF

exit 0

you can feed it several mailbox names and passwords and it can create a textfile with all SQL queries
