Finally was able to change the admin password.
While working on the server.xml, a question came up in my mind, what is the
difference between these 2 stanzas in xml.
<defaultDirectoryService id="directoryService" instanceId="default"
workingDirectory="rdsinst"
allowAnonymousAccess="false"
accessControlEnabled="true"
denormalizeOpAttrsEnabled="false">
<apacheDS id="apacheDS"
synchPeriodMillis="15000"
allowAnonymousAccess="false">
<directoryService>#directoryService</directoryService>
<ldapService>#ldapService</ldapService>
<ldapsService>#ldapsService</ldapsService>
</apacheDS>
What if we have conflicting value for 'allowAnonymousAccess' in these?
thanks
Sumit
