4.3.3Changing administrator entries

When the Administration Server is installed, two entries are created with administrator access in the Console. The main entry is the Configuration Administrator, who is authorized to access and modify the entire configuration directory (o=NetscapeRoot). The Configuration Administrator entry is stored in the uid=username,

ou=Administrators,ou=TopologyManagement,o=NetscapeRoot entry.

The Configuration Administrator's username and password are automatically used to create the Administration Server Administrator, who can perform a limited number of tasks, such as starting, stopping, and restarting servers. The Administration Server Administrator is created so that a user can log into the Directory Console when the Directory Server is not running. The Administration Server Administrator does not have an LDAP entry; it exists in the Administration Server's configuration file, /etc/opt/dirsrv/admin-serv/admpw.

IMPORTANT:

Even though they are created at the same time during installation, and are identical at that time, the Configuration Administrator and Administration Server Administrator are two separate entities. If the username or password is changed for one, Directory Console does not automatically make the same changes for the other.
