the Directory Server configuration files and can be viewed (if lost) and modified by editing that file. To
check or reset the Directory Manager password, do the following:
1. Stop the Directory Server. If the Directory Server is not stopped when the configuration files are
edited, the changes are not applied.
service dirsrv stop
2. Generate a new, hashed password using
pwdhash
. On Linux and Solaris, the tool is in the
/usr/
bin
directory; on HP-UX, it is in the
/opt/dirsrv/bin
directory. For example:
/usr/bin/pwdhash newpassword
{SSHA}nbR/ZeVTwZLw6aJH6oE4obbDbL0OaeleUoT21w==
3. In the configuration directory, open the
dse.ldif
file. For example:
cd /etc/dirsrv/slapd-
instance
/
vi dse.ldif
4. Locate the
nsslapd-rootpw
parameter.
nsslapd-rootpw:
{SSHA}
x03lZLMyOPaGH5VB8TVNbBIOwZEYoQ==
Delete the old password, and enter in the new hashed password. For example:
nsslapd-rootpw:
{SSHA}nbR/ZeVTwZLw6aJH6oE4obbDbL0OaeleUoT21w==
5. Save the change.
6. Start the Directory Server. For example:
service dirsv start
7. When the Directory Server restarts, log into the Console again as Directory Manager, and verify
that the password works.
7.7. Troubleshooting
7.7.1. Running dsktune
dsktune
runs when the Directory Server is first set up to check for minimum operating requirements.
After the setup, the
dsktune
utility can determine the Directory Server patch levels and kernel
parameter settings. To launch
dsktune
, Directory Server has to be installed successfully first.
