LDAPServer

The LDAP server can be administrated using the account

cn=admin,dc=ps,dc=uni-saarland,dc=de

Its password is stored in the LDAP database. It can be changed using ldappasswd as follows:

ldappasswd -x -s $NEWPASSWD -a $OLDPASSWD -w $OLDPASSWD -D cn=admin,dc=ps,dc=uni-saarland,dc=de cn=admin,dc=ps,dc=uni-saarland,dc=de

After changing the password, several places must be adjusted accordingly:

/etc/gosa/gosa.conf (pay attention to the file permissions after changing the password!)
/etc/ldappass
smbpasswd -w $NEWPASSWD
/root/scripts/connect.php

There's is a frontend called phpldapadmin which is available via

If you want to change the content of the sysads group, this is an LDAP group not accesible via Gosa and only via phpldapadmin.

Access exclusivly from inside the ps.uni-saarland.de network!
