The grid-change-pass-phrase program changes the passphrase protecting a private key or PKCS12 bundle containing a private key and certificate.

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 Display the version number of the grid-change-pass-phrase command. The second form includes more details. -file PRIVATE-KEY Change the passphrase of the private key named by PRIVATE-KEY instead of the default.
