ZCS Administrator Guide 8.0

zmldappasswd

The CLI command zmldappasswd changes the LDAP password on the local server. In multi node environments, this command must be run on the LDAP master server only.

This CLI command used with options changes other passwords.

For better security and audit trails the following passwords are generated in ZCS:

LDAP Admin password. This is the master LDAP password.

LDAP Root password. This is used for internal LDAP operations.

LDAP Postfix password. This is the password used by the postfix user to identify itself to the LDAP serve and must be configured on the MTA server to be the same as the password on the LDAP master server.

LDAP Amavis password. This is the password used by the amavis user to identify itself to the LDAP server and must be configured on the MTA server to be the same as the password on the LDAP server.

LDAP Replication password. This is the password used by the LDAP replication user to identify itself to the LDAP master and must be the same as the password on the LDAP master server.
