Changing the LDAP root password

Messaging uses the LDAP root password for internal LDAP processing. External LDAP clients, networked computers, and trusted servers do not use the LDAP root password.

Procedure

On the Administration menu, click Messaging > Utilities > Stop Messaging.
The system displays the Stop Messaging Software Web page and begins a 3-minute countdown to the shutdown routine.
If you want to delay the shutdown, click Stop.
To apply the password change, ensure that Messaging is not operational.

The Stop Messaging Software Web page refreshes periodically during the shutdown routine and displays a brief status message after Stop Voice System info.
Once the system confirms that the Messaging software is stopped, click OK.
On the Administration menu, click Messaging > Utilities > Change LDAP Password (Storage).
Select yes or no from the Change default LDAP Root Password? drop-down list.
Enter the old password in the Old Password field.
If you are changing the default LDAP Root Password for the first time, leave this field blank.
Enter the password in the New Password field.
Enter the password again in the Confirm New Password field.
Click Save.
On the Administration menu, click Messaging > Utilities > Start Messaging.
The Start Messaging Software Web page refreshes periodically during the startup routine and displays a brief status message after Start Voice System information.
Once the system confirms that the Messaging software is started, click OK.
