Noriko,

Thank you for your response.  It looks like there's an issue with
directory manager privilege.  When I attempt the command:

ldapsearch -x -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w <pw> -s base -b "" "objectclass=*"

ldap_bind: No such object (32)


How can I confirm directory manager user?


Thanks again for your help,

Herb




Hello,

This password is base64 encoded and folded at the ~80th column. (So,
please do not remove the last '=')
userPassword::
e1NTSEF9dGljWTdhcTlFSVRoYmRrZHhYcWxWN2dLZnhSMVpFeEJWd0xOeEE9PQ==

If you decode it, it looks like this:

    {SSHA}ticY7aq9EIThbdkdxXqlV7gKfxR1ZExBVwLNxA==

It is SSHA hashed.

I think you have a directory manager privilege.  If so, you could reset
the password by ldapmodify command?
ldapmodify ... << EOF
dn: cn=replicationManager,cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: <new_password>
EOF
