Hi Alexander, Thanks for a quick reply first of all and to be honest actually I have tried that link too, it didn't work either.
This is my ipa version: ipa-server-3.0.0-47.el6_7.2.x86_64 and the system is RHEL 6 When I reproduce the last step of the instructions you provided: ldappasswd -h localhost -ZZ -p 389 -x -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W -T dm_password Enter LDAP Password: ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) Or trying this one (because I am not sure if I have dogtag 10): ldappasswd -h localhost -ZZ -p 7389 -x -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W -T dm_password Enter LDAP Password: Result: No such object (32) Additional info: No such Entry exists. I couldn't figure out clearly, your help much appreciated wherever you can.

There are more places where DM password is used for replica. You changed it only 389-ds but didn't change other places.
