dsconfig Usage

To list the configured Password Storage Schemes:

dsconfig list-password-storage-schemes
     [--property {propertyName}] ...

To view the configuration for an existing Password Storage Scheme:

dsconfig get-password-storage-scheme-prop
     --scheme-name {name}
     [--tab-delimited]
     [--script-friendly]
     [--property {propertyName}] ...

To update the configuration for an existing Password Storage Scheme:

dsconfig set-password-storage-scheme-prop
     --scheme-name {name}
     (--set|--add|--remove) {propertyName}:{propertyValue}
     [(--set|--add|--remove) {propertyName}:{propertyValue}] ...

To create a new PBKDF2 Password Storage Scheme:

dsconfig create-password-storage-scheme
     --scheme-name {name}
     --type pbkdf2
     --set enabled:{propertyValue}
     [--set {propertyName}:{propertyValue}] ...

To delete an existing Password Storage Scheme:

dsconfig delete-password-storage-scheme
     --scheme-name {name}
