I'm glad to hear someone is giving this a try. A ldapmodify command similar to this can change the default password: ldapmodify -D 'uid=admin,ou=system' -h pdc.my.domain -p 389 -w secret dn: uid=admin,ou=system changetype: modify replace: userpassword userpassword: foob4r Then I believe you use this user and password (uid=admin,ou=system, foob4r) in the replication agreement.
