Configuration of the OpenLDAP manager password

You will have to adjust the OpenLDAP and the rudder-web.properties file.

Here is a semi-automated procedure:

  • Generate a decently fair password. You can use an arbitrary one too. 
PASS=`dd if=/dev/urandom count=128 bs=1 2>&1 | md5sum | cut -b-12`
  • Update the password in the slapd configuration 
HASHPASS=`/opt/rudder/sbin/slappasswd -s $PASS`
sed -i "s%^rootpw.*$%rootpw          $HASHPASS%" /opt/rudder/etc/openldap/slapd.conf
  • Update the password in the rudder-web.properties file 
sed -i "s%^ldap.authpw.*$%ldap.authpw=$PASS%" /opt/rudder/etc/rudder-web.properties
