CLI or API for (re-)setting passwords in the secure store ?

Hi out there,

in the data center we have the requirement to generate new passwords for the administration users administrator, j2ee_admin, ... on a regular base. For every single system (and I'm talking about a lot of systems!) we now have to change the password in the User data store which is no problem for ABAP - I can automate it from a perl script using sapnwrfc (thanks to Piers Harding!) calling a BAPI setting the new password. But the bad side is that we have to click throught the whole config tool for resetting the password in question for every single system...

Do you know a possibility to set the administrator's password via CLI or API ?

Best regards,
