View source for Resetting LDAP & MySQL Passwords

One of the most common problems with installing and starting a service is an incorrect LDAP or MySQL password.


== Resetting the LDAP Password ==
First, we need to make sure that Zimbra is stopped. 

Try running:

 > su zimbra

 > zmcontrol stop

Just to be safe, you can make sure that all Zimbra services are stopped:

 > ps auxww | grep zimbra

 > ps auxww | grep slapd


Kill any left over processes.

Now, we can reset the passwords:

First the root(note: these are run as user zimbra)

 > zmldappasswd --root '''newpass'''

Next the zimbra:

 > zmldappasswd '''newpass'''

Make sure you use the same password for both!


''Note: For Zimbra 5.0 and newer, you must start Zimbra with:''

 > zmcontrol start

And then use the following to change the root user

 > zmldappasswd -r '''newpass'''

Next the zimbra:

 > zmldappasswd '''newpass'''

== Resetting Mailbox Database Passwords  ==
Make sure mailbox database is running.  Run all commands as user ''zimbra''.

This checks for a pid file:
  > mysql.server status
  mysql is running with pid 23830

Also use:
  > ps a | grep mysqld.*my.cnf
  

'''root account'''
Set ''newpassword'' to your desired password.

  > zmmypasswd --root newpassword

'''zimbra account'''
 
  > zmmypasswd newpasswd

== Resetting Logger Database Passwords  ==
Make sure mailbox database is running.  Run all commands as user ''zimbra''.

  > ps a | grep mysqld.*my.logger.cnf

'''root account'''

Set ''newpassword'' to your desired password.

  > zmmylogpasswd --root newpassword

'''zimbra account'''
 
  > zmmylogpasswd newpasswd
