I've forgotten my test LDAP server's admin password and couldn't figure out how to change it, so I'm waiting for someone else to fix this :) OpenLDAP is annoying. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It is a mandatory requirement for servers that use authentication, such as Dovecot. -- Marc Baudoin | Institut Pasteur <babafou at pasteur.fr> | P?le informatique - syst?mes et r?seau

It should still remain encrypted so you might want to use slappasswd to create a new hash. the entry should be something with "userPassword:: hashedpasswordgoeshere" Then stop ldap server, remove database and recreate it with slapadd -l my_file_with_changed_admin_password.ldif you might recreate your indices as well: slapindex ...and then restart your ldap server. Depending on your installation it might be possible that there is a /etc/ldap.secret file with admin password in plain text... I hope that helps. Best regards, Adi Kriegisch
