Goal

Can setting a password for a user on the XSCF be done from a remote domain running Solaris?

Solution

It can be done if you know

1) a username on the xscf (and that user's password)

2) the above xscf user has useradm privilege.

3) ssh is setup/enabled on the xscf.

In the example below

xscf_user1 is the user on the xscf whose password is known (and has useradm privilege).

xscf_user2 is the user on the xscf whose password we want to set

10.2.3.4 is the IP address of the xscf-lan network port

$ ssh xscf_user1@10.2.3.4 password xscf_user2
xscf_user1@10.2.3.4 xscf_user1s password:        <<<    enter xscf_user1's password 
New XSCF password: Newpassword                   <<<    enter the new password for xscf_user2
Retype new XSCF password: Newpassword            <<<    re-enter the new password for xscf_user2
xscf_user2 's password is now set to the new password
