Most options in cn=config can be changed while the server is still online. Since you also need to reset the DM password it makes sense to shut it off first. A brute force way and simple way is to shut down all instances on your machine: systemctl stop dirsrv.target Start it back up in a similar way. I'd recommend you make a backup of dse.ldif just in case prior to making any changes. rob Christian Palacios wrote: > Thank you Rob. I checked the dse.ldif file and it was set to on.
