Hi, I have installed an Identity Console (without OSP Integration for start) but get the following error when starting the service (seen in edirapi.log)

{"ldapBind":"cn=svc-eDir-Admin1,ou=eDir,o=System","ldapServer":"MyServer:636","level":"fatal","msg":"LDAP Result Code 206 \"Empty password not allowed by the client\": ldap: empty password not allowed by the client","time":"Tuesday, 09-Nov-21 18:40:10 CET"}

I did set the password with 

su - nds -c "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/novell/lib64/:/opt/novell/eDirectory/lib64/:/opt/netiq/common/openssl/lib64/ /opt/novell/eDirAPI/sbin/passwdstore -a cn=svc-eDir-Admin1,ou=eDir,o=System -w Password"

Successfully written the password of svc-edir-admin1,edir,system to the local secret config file

and I see some files in /var/opt/novell/nici/<ID where nds:nds is owner>/

• Is it OK that passwdstore confirms in typeless LDAP (looks strange)
• How can I verify if I have a stored password for my User DN?
  • Are there some nici tools I can use to query the secret files?
  • How can I remove a password entry from the secret files?
  • How can I update my password in the secret files?
• What else can I do or check to make my config work? For now, the service won't start:

systemctl status netiq-identityconsole.service
