Hi All, I have been testing FreeIPA and now plan to migrate to production use - thanks for creating such a great application!
During the test phase we have been using simple passwords for the admin and directory manager users however we need these changed before moving into production. I believe we can change the admin password using the web interface however as I understand it amending the directory manager password is not so straightforward. I have found this link https://www.freeipa.org/page/Howto/Change_Directory_Manager_Password however I am unsure if this is the correct procedure for our installation - certainly i am having no luck so far. We have the following setup: FreeIPA 4.2.0 - single master server (no replicas), multiple clients CentOS 7.2 I have tried the following steps in order: http://directory.fedoraproject.org/docs/389ds/howto/howto-resetdirmgrpassword.html followed by https://www.freeipa.org/page/Howto/Change_Directory_Manager_Password After completing that I am no longer able to authenticate user logins. The below covers my current situation: This works: ldapsearch -x -D "cn=directory manager" -w NEWPASSWORD -s base -b "" "objectclass=*" This does not work: ldapsearch -x -D "cn=directory manager" -w OLDPASSWORD -s base -b "" "objectclass=*" This works: ldapsearch -h localhost -ZZ -p 389 -x -D "uid=admin,ou=people,o=ipaca" -W -b "" -s base OLDPASSWORD This does not work: ldapsearch -h localhost -ZZ -p 389 -x -D "uid=admin,ou=people,o=ipaca" -W -b "" -s base NEWPASSWORD So i'm i a mixed up state! Is anyone able to offer advise on resolving this issue?
