IBM Tivoli Directory Server, Version 6.3

Managing the primary administrator password with the command line

You can use the idsdnpw command to change the primary administrator password for a directory server instance. The command can be run only when the directory server instance is not running.

For example:

To change the primary administrator password to newsecret on a computer with only one directory server instance, issue the command:

idsdnpw –p newsecret

You are prompted to continue or exit.

Note:
If the administration password policy has been enabled, the primary administrator's password must conform to the administration password policy requirements. See the IBM® Tivoli® Directory Server Version 6.3 Administration Guide for information about the password policy.

See the IBM Tivoli Directory Server Version 6.3 Command Reference for detailed information about the idsdnpw command.
