We embedding Apache-DS into our product for use as a A&A server.  We probably 
don't want to ship it with the default Administrator.  We install several 
default users into the database using an ldif file and move all the 
administrative functions to these.  
 
I have some question as to our options about what to do with the default 
administrative userid.
 
The docs indicate that the proper way to install is to start the server, let 
the system set up the default partition with the password from server.xml, 
change the password with a GUI or command line utility, then change the value 
in server.xml and restart the server.
 
We feel this would be a bit too complicated for our users.  Are there any 
alternatives?  I tried changing the userid and/or password before the initial 
startup and it crashes.  Can we totaly delete this userid?
