The administrator entry is just like any other entry and the userPassword
field is like any other attribute. You can use these LDAP client tools to
update this attribute just the same way even on your SUN machine since this
goes over the wire.
Hence this mechanism also works for ApacheDS however note that you'll need
either the SUN or the OpenLDAP client since we don't have command line
tools.
I assume the question is: How to reset the password, if forgotten. The
only idea I currently have:
- Allow anonymous bind with complete authorization.
- Reset the password attribute, just as Alex proposes
- disallow anonymous bind with complete authorization.
But I am not sure, whether opening the server that way is possible (be
sure that it is not available over the wire for others at that time).
