   -Passphrase <String>
   [-Database <String>]
   [-Server <String>]

Description

The Set-MgmtSvcPassphrase cmdlet sets the passphrase that the management service uses to encrypt sensitive data in the configuration database.

A passphrase can only be set once. To replace the passphrase, use the Reset-MgmtSvcPassPhrase cmdlet.

You can run this cmdlet from any computer in the deployment. However, this cmdlet assumes that the database is on the local computer. If the database is on another computer, you must use the Server, UserName, Password, and Database parameters, or a SQL connection string. If you specify a connection string by using the ConnectionString parameter, that value takes precedence over the Server, UserName, Password, and Database parameters.

Examples

Example 1: Set a passphrase

PS C:\> Set-MgmtSvcPassphrase -Server "Contoso01" -UserName "sa" -Password '********' -Passphrase '*********'

This command sets the passphrase for the configuration store on the computer named Contoso01.
