Can you describe "they don't work". Directory Server fails to start? The
cn=directory manager account will not bind? What error message do you get?

*what field* did you update? Did you do it for Directory Manager? cn=admin?
Both? 

Did you copy the hash to look like:

{SSHA}aAAsVqh3/CE+ITeD+g1cuflaLhYaYAjGW/RxRA==

Including the {ALGO} stanza at the front?

/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-<INSTANCE NAME>/errors is good for if the server won't
start, and will tell you if the hash format is messed up.

/var/log/dirsrv/slapd-<INSTANCE NAME>/access will tell you more about why an
account cannot bind.


Please provide *more* detail as this helps us to solve your issue. Exact steps,
what you changed, reasonable fake values for passwords for example.
