When the password for the database owner is changed on the system, the directory server must be notified to update its configuration file. This update can be done in one of two ways:
You can use the idscfgdb command to change the password for the database owner in the configuration file for the directory server instance if the directory server is stopped.
For example, to change the password to newpasswrd on a system with only one directory server instance, use the following command:
idscfgdb -w newpasswrd
You are prompted to either continue or exit.
You can use the idsldapmodify command to change the password while the directory server instance is running. The idsldapmodify command must be used by the primary directory server administrator or by a directory administrator with dirdata authority. Use the idsldapmodify command with an LDIF file that has the following contents:
dn: cn=Directory, cn=RDBM Backends, cn=IBM Directory, cn=Schemas, cn=Configuration changetpye: modify replace: ibm-slapdDbUserPW ibm-slapdDbUserPW: newPassword
See the IBM® Tivoli® Directory Server Version 6.3 Command Reference for detailed information about the idscfgdb and idsldapmodify commands.
