DESCRIPTION

14       The grid-change-pass-phrase program changes the passphrase protecting a
15       private key or PKCS12 bundle containing a private key and certificate.
16       By default, grid-change-pass-phrase uses the X509_USER_KEY environment
17       variable to locate the private key. If that is not set, then it looks
18       for $HOME/.globus/userkey.pem and $HOME/.globus/usercred.p12 in
19       succession. The path to a key can be specified by using the -file
20       command-line option.
