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
