Which 'admin' password?

What are you trying to accomplish with this username/password which is not working?

There are any number of administrator accounts/passwords so you will need to clarify which one you mean.

Also, do you know the directory manager bind dn/password? If so you can use ldapmodify to change the password as well as amconsole.

Shane.

By default, Messaging Server creates an "admin" user. You can name that "admin" user whatever you like, although the default is indeed, "admin".

You may want to check the LDAP access log to see what the server is responding to, during BIND. You may have the wrong account, or somethig like that.

You can use the amadmin user/password, if you wish. It should work, too.

Responding, how?

My domain is right,

you need to start looking more critically at the ldap logs. It's possible that you have more than one "admin" account, and that's confusing DA.
