Manao ahoana, Hello, Bonjour,
On a Debian and a Ubuntu I install OpenLDAP with the package manager. It usually asks for an admin password.
But when looking in /etc/ldap/ I found no place where it is stored (even in an encrypted form).
I would like to change that admin password without calling 'dpkg-reconfigure slapd'.
Is there an ldap utility or built-in command for that purpose?
Misaotra, Thanks, Merci.
Hello,
try to look in /etc/openldap/ instead. But I know a little about Debian and Google is not unified in results about location of - well, try % find /etc/ -name slapd.conf; there :) That's where rooddn password should be stored. And how to change it? Use % slappasswd; to generate HASH, then edit slapd.conf and look for: rootpw {SSHA}SomeHASHofPassword
For the syntax - man pages. SSHA is strongly recommended, I'd say especially for rootdn password. I'm not sure if the restart of % slapd; is required.
I hope that helps.
Regards, Zdenek
