Support knowledgebase (hacht_imap_passwd_aendern)
Applies to
SuSE Imap-Server or SuSE eMail Server II: Version 1.0 or 2.0
Situation:
You would like to change the password for the administrator "cyrus".
Procedure:
To change the password (Imapserver 1), you first need to log in to the system
as user root
and then run the script /usr/sbin/imappasswd
by typing the command:
# imappasswd
Once the change has been made, you will also need to restart
the LDAP-Server, which can be accomplished with this command:
# rcldap restart
So that the new password will take effect.
You will also need to restart your browser again, and click on the
administrative login link (imapwadm).
For changing the password on an eMail Server II login as user root
and download the following:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/products/emailserver/2.0/cyrus_passwd.en.gz
Save it at /tmp
and unzip it:
gunzip /tmp/cyrus_passwd.en.gz
To change the password do the following:
chmod 744 /tmp/cyrus_passwd.en
/tmp/cyrus_passwd.en
Finally restart LDAP
rcldap restart
