Re: A bit confused about rootpw

[D C <dc12078@gmail.com>]

I'm pretty confused as to how it came to be. ÂThe last time I made a change on this server it was using slapd.conf.

Funny enough I had to do a partial restore with slapadd today. ÂI ended up having to do the same thing by renaming the slapd.d directory, but at least it was fresh in my mind.

I must have accidentally created it some how.Â

Thanks,

Dan

reluctantly, i've updated slapd.conf with a new rootpw, but that doesn't seem to be working either. I've ran grep -RHi olcRootPW on the slapd.d directory, but it came back with nothing.

If you have a slapd.d that should be used instead of the slapd.conf. So updating your slapd.conf should be irrelevant?

I'd think something along the lines of "slapcat -n0 | grep -i olcrootpw" would be better to determine what/if your current rootpw setting is. You can try that on both servers and see how/if it differs. Finally, running slapd with "-d config" may prove enlightening.
