A new utility ndspassstore has been introduced in the eDirectory 8.8 SP5 release. The ndspassstore is a utility used to store encrypted password for the SAdmin user or the eDirectory user. This utility is available on Unix and Windows platforms. This utility takes the username and the password as inputs and stores it as encrypted key-value pairs.
From the eDirectory 8.8 SP5 release, this utility is used to set the SAdmin password.
This utility is available by default at C:\Novell\NDS in Windows and at /opt/novell/eDirectory/bin in UNIX.
You could use the ndspassstore utility by enterning the following command at the server console:
ndspassstore -a <adminContext> -w <password>
