How to change the default 'admin' username in Apache DS?

Long story short the security people at my company does not want us to use the default 'admin' username in Apache DS. Is there a way to change it without breaking anything? Also how to create an additional admin account that is a clone of the default 'admin' user? I couldn't find any documentation for this.

You can use Apache Directory Studio to do this:

  1. Copy (Ctrl-C) entry uid=admin
  2. Paste (Ctrl-V) into ou=system renaming the user entry on the way
  3. Select cn=Administrators,ou=groups,ou=system
  4. Add a member reference to the new user entry
  5. Check you can successfully bind using the new user
