Is this step actually required when changing the directory manager
password 
(https://directory.fedoraproject.org/docs/389ds/howto/howto-resetdirmgrpassword.html)?

If I'm reading the documentation properly, it appears that FreeIPA
versions >= 4.x do not require this step.  Is this correct?

Thank you!
