If you cannot edit it using the console, you can use ldapmodify 1) find the full dn of the entry using the ldapsearch as above 2) identify the attributes that deal with the encryption stuff 3) use ldapmodify like the following: ldapmodify -D "cn=directory manager" -w password dn: cn=configuration,..... changetype: modify replace: nameofattr nameofattr: newvalue---- Thanks - I can probably do that but it occurred to me that I should just probably restore from my last backup but now I can't find my backup. # ls -l /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-srv1/bak total 0 I had created 2 separate backups using the console application (and even restored once so I know that it worked) but now they are nowhere to be found and so I can't restore.
That's really strange. I've never seen this happen before.
I have no idea. I've never seen this before. The console has been used for this purpose for 7 years now in large production environments and this is the first time I've ever heard of this happening.I'm beginning the think that the console application - though exceedingly dangerous in this rookie's hands is possibly not quite ready for prime time...why did the backups disappear?
Is there a method to wipe out the entire DSA and start over without removing the rpm and re-installing rpm again?
Not really, not without the data.
And by the way, I am most appreciate of all of the help you have been giving me Richard - just in case I haven't made it obvious - you have been exceedingly patient and helpful.
