4.3.3 Changing administrator entries
When the Administration Server is installed, two entries are created with administrator access
in the Console. The main entry is the Configuration Administrator, who is authorized to access
and modify the entire configuration directory (o=NetscapeRoot). The Configuration
Administrator entry is stored in the uid=username,
ou=Administrators,ou=TopologyManagement,o=NetscapeRoot entry.
The Configuration Administrator's username and password are automatically used to create the
Administration Server Administrator, who can perform a limited number of tasks, such as
starting, stopping, and restarting servers. The Administration Server Administrator is created
so that a user can log into the Directory Console when the Directory Server is not running. The
Administration Server Administrator does not have an LDAP entry; it exists in the Administration
Server's configuration file, /etc/opt/dirsrv/admin-serv/admpw.
IMPORTANT:
Even though they are created at the same time during installation, and are identical at that time,
the Configuration Administrator and Administration Server Administrator are two separate
entities. If the username or password is changed for one, Directory Console does not automatically
make the same changes for the other.

• “Changing the admin password”
• “Adding users to the configuration administrators group”
