Re: 389 console is blank

:-)  There is no downtime it just does a bunch of ldapmodifies to add the o=netscapeoot suffix.  You might need to restart the admin server, but not DS.

Here are some useful links:

Output it much better after including -x, screenshot below.  If we run the register-ds-admin, will there be any downtime to the server?  I just need to confirm that this will not affect the userroot database in any way, since classes start next week and I value my job :)

Thanks, Mark.  When executing the ldapsearch that you suggested, I am getting an error message: ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Unknown authentication method (-6) additional info: SASL(-4): no mechanism available:

Ugh sorry you need to add -x:

ldapsearch -D "cn=directory manager" -W -x -b o=netscapeoot objectclass=* dn

We have been replicating o=netscaperoot - I am not sure how up to date the replicas are, considering the trouble that we are having with the config db right now...

That's the problem.  If you are replicating o=netscaperoot to other servers that use the console, are you are basically hosing each one of those servers o=netscaperoot suffix.  o=netscaperoot is specific to the host in which it was originally created.  You should only replicate o=netscaperoot as backup technique, and it should not replicated to a server that uses the 389-console - otherwise the console won't work (e.g. blank screen)

So the console will only work on the original server you started replication from.

Now to fix it, assuming this is the case...

You have to remove o=netscapeorot suffix, and run register-ds-admin.pl to recreate o=netscaperoot suffix for that server

Hi Mark,

You are correct, it does appear that the o=netscaperoot suffix was removed. 

No, I think it's still there.  Try this search:

    # ldapsearch -D "cn=directory manager" -W -b o=netscapeoot objectclass=* dn

Maybe try restarting the admin server: 

    # restart-ds-admin


Are you replicating o=netscaperoot by any chance? 

Mark

Below is a bit of the access log file during the launch of the console.  We have two other servers that this Master was replicating to, is it possible to export the netscaperoot from one of those other two servers and import to the Master?  What would this require and would it be service impacting at all?  (Reboot of the server/etc.)  One of the servers hasn't been replicating in some time, would an older version of netscaperoot have any impact on the userroot directory?

Are you logging in as Directory Manager?

If you are, perhaps the o=netscaperoot suffix was removed from DS?  You need to look at the access log in this case and what it's doing when you log in.
