Rob Novak: yo
Rob Novak: otp
Bruce Elgort: k..let me know when you're off
Bruce Elgort:
Rob Novak: off
Bruce Elgort: just moved an existing qp server to a vm
Bruce Elgort: works great
Rob Novak: nice
Rob Novak: i have older hardware...
Bruce Elgort: however...getting HuDirectoryClass: cannot contact ldap server
Rob Novak: where is ldap?
Bruce Elgort: on another server
Bruce Elgort: worked fine prior to copy
Bruce Elgort: and...
Bruce Elgort: and when i log in i don't see admin role on left
Bruce Elgort: so was wondering what url would be
Bruce Elgort: so i can hack in
Rob Novak: hmm
Rob Novak: are you logging in with the original, local user ID (from installation) or with your user name
Bruce Elgort: my user name
Rob Novak: find the local ID and use it
Bruce Elgort: i don't remember the one created and can't seem to identify in nab
Bruce Elgort: and open which db?
Rob Novak: it will not be in nab
Bruce Elgort: oh
Rob Novak: open ACL of quickplace\quickplace\admin.nsf
Bruce Elgort: in xml file possibly?
Bruce Elgort: ah
Bruce Elgort: let me look
Rob Novak: the user name will be in there as name\quickplace\qp\domain
Bruce Elgort: i see that
Bruce Elgort: let me try
Bruce Elgort:
Rob Novak: if you get in, re-save the user directory document
Bruce Elgort: not in
Bruce Elgort: has username xxxxxx
Bruce Elgort: and you know i have no admin in the nab
Rob Novak: also check from the vmware box to make sure you can get to LDAP
Rob Novak: yes
Rob Novak: the original name you set up with QP was not supposed to be in the nab
Rob Novak: it's local to qp
Bruce Elgort: SO where does it store pw
Rob Novak: that means it can't get to LDAP from the vmware box
Bruce Elgort: ok
Bruce Elgort: i wonder why
Bruce Elgort: it throws the errors and then lets us in
Rob Novak: go to www.ldapadministrator.com and download ldap browser (free). install it on the vmware box and try to reach your ldap server from there
Bruce Elgort: ok
Bruce Elgort: thanks
and now for the riveting conclusion, and the tip that will unlock your long-forgotten QP server....

Rob Novak: if you can't remember the admin password you might be able to change it
Rob Novak: you can't retrieve it, it's encrypted
Rob Novak: if you have to, try
Bruce Elgort: how do i do that?
Rob Novak: load qptool password -u xxxxx -pw newpassword -p quickplace
Rob Novak: it MIGHT work
Bruce Elgort: OK
Rob Novak: that resets a local user's password
Rob Novak: it's not supposed to work on the local admin but sometimes it does
Bruce Elgort:
Bruce Elgort: GOT IT
Bruce Elgort: :-P:-P:-P:-P
Bruce Elgort: COOL
Rob Novak: ok you're in
Rob Novak: open the user directory page and re-save it
Bruce Elgort: so now reseave directory
Bruce Elgort: ok
Bruce Elgort:
Bruce Elgort: stand by
Rob Novak: then I'd restart http
Bruce Elgort: ok
Bruce Elgort: stand by
Bruce Elgort: same error..i will try the ldap tool
