stopping, and restarting servers. The Administration Server Administrator is created so that a user
can log into the Red Hat Console when the Directory Server is not running. The Administration Server
Administrator does not have an LDAP entry; it exists in the Administration Server's configuration file, /
usr/share/dirsrv/properties/admpw.
IMPORTANT
Even though they are created at the same time during installation, and are identical at
that time, the Configuration Administrator and Administration Server Administrator are two
separate entities. If the username or password is changed for one, Red Hat Console does
not automatically make the same changes for the other.
