Hi Akash,
After you reset the CM's cli password, you can run support reset-managed-cli. This will prompt the central manager to login to each associated managed unit and set the CLI passwords and expirations to match the passwords and expiration dates as the central manager.

Hi Wendy,

Hi @Akashkumar Parmar,
When you're logged in as the cli user, use the store user password command.

Hello Seniors,
When using command grdapi change_cli_password on Guardium CM Appliance to update the password of a CLI user,
error:
ERR=9, User has insufficient privileges for the requested API function occurs.
My Appliance Is on v11.5 Bundle 575 , 4084 Sniff patch. Does anyone has faced the similar Error ? If so , Kindly suggest the fix..
