No assigned admin roles and tasks in iManager

bship · 10-04-2005, 09:23 AM

Please help. We have recently bought, set-up, and installed Novell OES, SLES, whatever it's called.

I have a DBA that I work with and she went into the system, and she made a few changes. Specifically, set-up an admin at another location and it seems to have disabled or deleted the main admin for the tree.

When I log into iManager as admin. It advises that no roles and no tasks have been assigned to this user. When I browse the tree, there is no longer an admin user on the main server in the tree. The context that is showing for the admin.Users.cly.hcs logged into iManager (cly=is the 2nd location where admin was added by the DBA and hcs=is the tree).

The easiest fix is probably from the command line as root, but I am not sure how to do it. Anyone with any ideas?

Thx,
Beth

Hi Beth,

I would suggest that you ask the question here: http://support.novell.com/forums/

Either in the OES or eDirectory forums.

Thank you. I have posted it @ Novell. Below is the URL. For search purposes, I left the same title as used here.

After a tech support call with Novell, they advised one admin per tree is the best way to go.

For some reason, after the DBA added the admin at our 3rd location, the tree seemed to like that admin and see that admin 1st.

Even though our other admin was still there (buried under the server context), Novell iManager kept loading the context, rights, etc. for the admin at the third location, no matter how we logged in - thus no assigned roles and tasks for main admin.

We carefully, deleted all rights, trustee info., etc. from the 3rd location admin with the help of ConsoleOne. Then deleted that admin at the third location. And TADA, we logged into iManager as admin and all roles and tasks were there!!!

Hope this helps someone!
