HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 administration server guide

NOTE:
The Admin Server administrator username and password are stored in the /etc/opt/dirsrv/
admin-serv/admpw file. For example:
admin:{SHA}W6ph5Mm5Pz8GgiULbPgzG37mj9g=
The password is encrypted and cannot be changed directly in the admpw file. The username can
be changed in this file, but cannot be used to log into the Console unless the password is updated
in the Console first. For this reason, it is better to edit the Administration Server Administrator
username and password only through the Admin Server Console.
To change the Administration Server Administrator's ID or password:
1. Open the Admin Server management window.
2. Click the Configuration tab.
3. Click the Access tab.
4. Change the admin user's name or password. The username is the ID given for logging into
the Admin Server.
5. Click Save.
2.8 Working with SSL
The Admin Server can run over HTTPS (secure HTTP) if SSL is enabled on the server. There are
steps to enabling SSL:
1. Generating and submitting a certificate request.
2. Receiving and installing the certificate.
3. Trusting the certificate authority (CA) which issued the certificate.
4. Changing the Admin Server configuration to allow SSL connections.
