NAME

       tpm_setoperatorauth - sets the operator authorization value in the TPM

SYNOPSIS

       tpm_setoperatorauth [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       tpm_setoperatorauth allows setting the operator authorization value in the TPM (via the
       TPM_SetOperatorAuth API).  This operation prompts for the new password and a confirmation of it. The
       --well-known option tells the API to use the default TSS_WELL_KNOWN_SECRET (a 20-bytes array of zeros) as
       operator authorization information, instead of prompting for one.
