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
