--------------------------------------------

HI Stefan,

first, sorry for the wrong paste of the link...
I followed the admin steps of the page, and it didn't work in 1.5.0....(I 
missed the installer for 1.5.1).

I set a MD5 password in the ldap tree. stopped the server, edited the 
server.xml and add the plain text password, the server didn't come up anymore.
Then I set in the server.xml the MD5 hash string of the password, and server 
came up.
But, connecting via ldap browser to this server with the very same password, it 
didn't work anymore.
"error 49, cannot bind" was the message.

I'll check out 1.5.1 during the day and check if it works there.

Regards,

> you mention that you change your admin password via apache directory studio

> server doesn't startup. If you setup the {SHA} string in the server.xml the 
> server starts up but you can't authenticate against the server anymore.
> After a discusson on [EMAIL PROTECTED], we came to the conclusion that this 
> is not working.
> To avoid problems for other users, please correct the information, that this 
> setup is only working with plain text passwords.
> Thx for your great work,
