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

  1. On the Administration menu, click Messaging > Utilities > Stop Messaging.

    The system displays the Stop Messaging Software Web page.

  2. If you want to initiate a shutdown, click Stop.

    The Stop Messaging Software Web page refreshes periodically during the shutdown routine and displays a brief status message after Stop Messaging info.

    After the Messaging software stops completely, the system displays the Stop of Messaging completed message.

  3. Click OK.
  4. On the Administration menu, click Messaging > Utilities > Change LDAP Password (Storage).
  5. Select yes or no from the Change default LDAP Root Password? drop-down list.

    If you are changing the default LDAP Root Password for the first time, leave this field blank.

  7. Enter the new password in the New Password field.
  8. Enter the new password again in the Confirm New Password field.
  9. Click Save.
  10. On the Administration menu, click Messaging > Utilities > Start Messaging.

    The system displays the Start Messaging Software Web page.

    The Start Messaging Software Web page refreshes periodically during the startup routine and displays a brief status message after Start Messaging information.
