Re: [SOGo] Lost administration account

[Andrew Gilfrid Day]

Sorry I should have mentioned it. It is LDAP. But how can I change other user passwords without knowing the old one?

I added myself to the superuser list in sogo.conf and indeed I can access the administration tab but all that offers me is the ability to add users to other users calendars and address books. :-( What I'm trying to do is change the password for several sogo users.  How do I go about that? I do have root access. Many thanks.

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 Am 24.08.2018 um 13:12 schrieb Andrew Gilfrid Day (andrew....@gilfrid.com): Hi Paul, Thanks for your reply. That line is commented out :-(  What does that mean then?

I believe that if I can change the password of the administration account then I should be able to administer the installation myself. Having used slapcat to look at all the LDAP entries, I can see that there is no uid:sogo, so how can I identify the sogo admin account? And when I have done that, how do I change it's password. That depends on your user backend. When sogo pulls the users from LDAP - that LDAP server would be the place to change passphrases.
