If you are doing your own build, you could modify PartitionNexus.java:64 and
modify the ADMIN_PASSWORD constant to match your new password in your
server.xml.  This will result in a change to the default password.  There
may also be other options to generate the default partition with a different
admin password via some of our maven plugins...  Maybe someone else has more
info for you.

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?
