Why? Parsing slapd.conf yourself is error-prone. If you really need the
rootdn I would disable rootpw in slapd.conf and add a real entry for
rootdn for which you can set the userPassword attribute.
Thanks to all for their responses. I should use the existing tools to
update the password instead of parsing slapd.conf. In order to do so,
I need to move the rootdn/rootpw into the database. So my next
question is how to migrate the rootdn from slapd.conf into the
database? Seems like a chicken and egg problem.
(Perhaps I'm not searching for the right terms on google. The example
from 7.1 here [1], shows what appears to be a rootdn entry (dn:
cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com), but I can't set the userPasswd because
it is not a person.)
thanks
