Which OS ? which specific version of Directory Server 5.2 (ns-slapd -V ?).
Could you also give some specifics of the hardware on which you are experimenting this issue ?
Anyway, there is a simple and efficient work-around.
Add the following attribute in the dse.ldif file, in the cn=config entry.
nsslapd-rootpwstoragescheme: SSHA

I have installed it on windows XPhome version and the version is DS5.2 SP4. the thing is that i can see the line u have asked me to add..but still i end up getting the same mistake...
so I just wanted to know how to add the SSHA scheme in the dse.ldif file..so by just adding the line u have mentioned, we can add the required password schema.?
Thanks fr the help,

I am not sure that Directory Server is supported on XP Home edition... The product requires a Server version of the OS.
SSHA storage scheme is enabled by a Directory Server plugin, and should be enabled by default ( there is an entry like this: dn: cn=SSHA,cn=Password Storage Schemes,cn=plugins,cn=config in the dse.ldif and it should be enabled -nsslapd-pluginenabled: on-). The plugin entry references the library to load...
If you want to troubleshoot deeper this startup issue, you may want to try to start the server with the -d 0 option (which is not an easy thing to do on Windows... I don't recall the exact trick to do so).
