Change administrative credentials for the LDAP global unique ID

When you change the credentials of the administrative user ID that serves as the global unique ID for Connections, also update the federated repository configuration for Connections.

This is an optional procedure.

1. In the WAS administration console, expand...
   Security | Global security | User account repository | Federated repositories | Configure | LDAP repository identifier value

2. Update the Bind ID and Bind password fields to specify a temporary LDAP ID, and then apply the changes.

3. Synchronize the change to all application server nodes, and then stop all application servers and restart them.

   Verify that we can still log in to the WAS console after the dmgr restarts.

4. Reset the actual production bind password in LDAP.

5. Repeat Steps 2 through 5 to replace the temporary values specified for the Bind ID and password with the new ones.

6. Restart the servers hosting IBM Connections.
