NOTE:

To find out what the Admin Server user ID is, run grep in the Admin Server configuration directory:

cd /etc/opt/dirsrv/admin-serv

grep \^User console.conf

3.In the /etc/opt/dirsrv/admin-servdirectory, edit the nss.conf file to point to the location of the new password file.

#Pass Phrase Dialog:

#Configure the pass phrase gathering process.

#The filtering dialog program (`builtin' is a internal

#terminal dialog) has to provide the pass phrase on stdout.

NSSPassPhraseDialog file:/etc/opt/dirsrv/admin-serv/password.conf

4.Restart the Admin Server. For example:

/opt/dirsrv/sbin/restart-ds-admin

After TLS/SSL is enabled, then the Admin Server can only be connected to using HTTPS. All the previous HTTP (standard) URLs for connecting to the Admin Server and its services no longer work. This is true whether connecting to the Admin Server using the Console or using a web browser.

2.9 Changing Directory Server settings

The Admin Server stored information about the Directory Server Configuration Directory (which stores the instance configuration information) and the Directory Server User Directory (which stores the actual directory entries). These can be the same directory instance, but they do not have to be. The settings for both of those databases can be edited in the Admin Server configuration so that it communicates with a different Directory Server instance.

2.9.1 Changing the configuration directory host or port

Configuration data are stored under o=NetscapeRoot in the Configuration Directory. The configuration database contains server settings such as network topology information and server instance entries. When server configuration changes are stored in the configuration directory subtree.

WARNING!

Changing the Directory Server host name or port number impacts the rest of the servers in the server group. Changing a setting here means the same change must be made for every server in the server group.

1.Open the Admin Server management window.

2.Click the Configuration tab.

3.Click the Configuration DS tab.

4.Set the Configuration Directory Server connection information.
