server task server_name-host_name sms key change
Options
- server_name-host_name
- Name of the server or server instance. Specify the server name in the exact format as it is shown in the output of the server list command.
For example, if the configured name of a single WebSEAL server on host cruz.dallas.ibm.com is default, the server_name would be default-webseald and the host_name would be example.dallas.ibm.com. For this example, the name of the server would be default-webseald-example.dallas.ibm.com.
If there are multiple configured server instances on the same computer, for example, the host cruz.dallas.ibm.com, and the configured name of the WebSEAL server instance is webseal2-webseald, the server_name is webseal2-webseald and the host_name is example.dallas.ibm.com. For this example, the name of the server instance would be webseal2-webseald-example.dallas.ibm.com.
