I had the password for the admin, and the cn=Directory Manager account
entries documented, and they no longer work anymore.
Can you describe "they don't work". Directory Server fails to start? The
cn=directory manager account will not bind? What error message do you get?
I attempted to execute:
pwdhash <newPassword> and copied the new {SSHA} hash into the appropriate
field in the /etc/dirsrv/slapd-*E2WAN/dse.ldif *file *after shutting down
both services*.
*what field* did you update? Did you do it for Directory Manager? cn=admin?
Both?
Did you copy the hash to look like:
{SSHA}aAAsVqh3/CE+ITeD+g1cuflaLhYaYAjGW/RxRA==
Including the {ALGO} stanza at the front?
I don't know how to troubleshoot this application? What log file where and
when.
/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-<INSTANCE NAME>/errors is good for if the server won't
start, and will tell you if the hash format is messed up.
/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-<INSTANCE NAME>/access will tell you more about why an
account cannot bind.
Please provide *more* detail as this helps us to solve your issue. Exact steps,
what you changed, reasonable fake values for passwords for example.
