Fedora directory users - Jan 2007 - RE: How to Reset NT4 LDAP Service Password

Update: 
 
I found this post that shows how to change the default password:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-directory-users/2005-November/msg00184.html,
but unfortunately, I am unable to login as
''uid=admin,ou=system'' in order to perform the change.
 
As stated earlier, I am able to bind to the LDAP server anonymously, but I have
insuficient rights to change anything.  I''m totally locked out of my
system.  How do I reset it back to normal?If there a default password for
''uid=admin,ou=system''?  I know that for ApacheDS, the default
password for ''uid=admin,ou=system'' is
''secret''.  Is there a similar thing for the NT4 LSAP
Service?Thanks,
 
Shaun D

Service Password


We installed the NT4 LDAP Service (ntds.msi) and have followed instructions as
per ds71admin.pdf and we are encountering an issue when authenticating to the
LDAP server. Prior to starting the service, we set the password in the
usersync.conf file, but it seems that it "did not take".  Using
various LDAP clients, we receive the following error message when authenticating
using "uid=admin,ou=system":[Error 49] Invalid CredentialsLDAP: error
code 49 - Bind
failureorg.apache.ldap.common.exception.LdapAuthenticationException Oddly, when
binding anonymously, we are able to connect normally and browse the contents of
the SAM database.  We tried authenticating using a number of username/password
combinations, but none work.  I''m a little worried about being able to
bind anonymously... isn''t this a security risk?  Any way to turn that
off? Reading through the guide, I understand that once started, the only way to
change the password is by using an "LDAP Modify Operation".  If this
is the case, how do we do this?Please advise.  Thanks, Shaun D
