Re: [SOGo] Lost administration account

[Christian Mack]

Hello

Is your LDAP controlled/provisioned by a Identity Management System?
If yes, it should provide a change workflow.
If not, you need an LDAP client and an admin account on your LDAP server
in order to change users in it.


Kind regards,
Christian Mack

 Hello

 That means you do not have any super user defined.
 Therefore there is no user, which can use the administration tab in the
 sogo web frontend.

 Your sogo user is usually a local account on that machine.
 Check /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.
 If you have root access, then you can change the password for local user
 sogo with:
 passwd sogo

 If you have sudo privileges, instead use:
 sudo passwd sogo


 Kind regards,
 Christian Mack
