Hello -

I recently installed a 389 directory server for its LDAP services, and I use the admin console GUI to do some management of this service.

When I was installing 389 to begin with, the install process asked me to create an admin user. That admin user can login to the admin console GUI and manage the LDAP services. Now I would like to assign members of an LDAP group to administer things through the 389 admin console as well.

However, when I add this group to the "Directory Administrators" group built-in to 389 DS and login to Admin Console, I only see a blank screen and no option to add 389 instances to manage.

Has anyone used 389 Directory Server and come across this issue? I'm sure it is a permissions issue somewhere but am not finding where to look exactly.

Just a thought: How did you add the group? From within the 389 Admin Console? I wouldn't expect the Admin Console to be able to see the "normal" Linux groups.

To add the group to the the "directory administrators" group, I logged into admin console with the admin user, opened up my 389 instance, and then drilled down into my LDAP structure to add my LDAP group. I haven't done anything in admin console to assign rights...not sure where I would do that at the moment.
