Editing the Rational Directory Server URL and credentials

Edit the IBM® Rational® Directory Server URL in the rds_config.xml file. Edit the IBM Rational Directory Server admin user name and passwords in the rds_config.xml file.

Procedure

  1. Edit the Rational Directory Server URL:
    1. In the rds_config.xml file, edit the <url> line.
      <rds-config>
      <url>ldap://host:port/</url>
      <user-id>tdsadmin</user-id>
      <password>xxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx==</password>
      </rds-config>
    2. Save the file.
  2. Edit the admin user name and password:
    1. In the rds_config.xml file, edit the <user-id> line:
      <rds-config>
      <url>ldap://host:port/</url>
      <user-id>tdsadmin</user-id>
      <password>xxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx==</password>
      </rds-config>
    2. Type the new user name.
    3. Replace the <password> line with:

      <password-unencrypted>my_new_password</password-unencrypted>

    4. Save the file.

      The user name is changed, but the original <password> is replaced with <password-unencrypted>, whose content is a clear-text password. When the server reloads, the password is encrypted.
