[ApacheDS] The default password (Was: Only 'uid=admin,ou=system' can initiate the first run.)

Hi,

As we discussed before, it might be make users less confusing by providing
default password such as 'changeme' as we did before.

We could simply print warning log message that reminds users to change the
password if it is still 'changeme'. WDYT?

Now the default password is 'secret' again. the only difference is that it
displays a warning message:

I agree let's just hardcode the inital admin password which can be 
changed later by the admin.

Any more idea on resolving this issue? Will I simply do what I've suggested
before?

We've changed ApacheDS initialize the system partition with the admin
password which were specified in the configuration. That's why an admin user
identity is required to start ApacheDS at the first time, and now our users
don't seem to like this idea.

What's the difference between this state and what we have now?  Sorry 
can you remind me yet again :(.  I've already forgotten the changes made.
