Issue with 389 Console: re-auth request / manage certificates doesn't load

29 Dec 2010


      Hi folks,
I setup 389-ds from scratch today on a CentOS box - simple "yum -y install 
389-ds", then ran the setup script with default options.  I then restarted 
the server and connected with the 389 console.  I'm running 
389-Directory/1.2.7.5 B2010.350.198.
The console loads fine.  I'm able to do most things.  However, when I 
click the + sign next to "Server Group" on the initial screen, I get the 
following in my terminal:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException:

Furthermore, when I double click on directory server and hit the 
"Configuration" tab, I get a permission denied (logged in as admin...) and 
I'm asked to re-authenticate.  If I hit cancel, things continue to work as 
normal, so that isn't a huge deal.  However, if I hit "Manage 
Certificates", nothing happens.  This is not the case when hitting 
"Manange Certificates" inside the Admin Server window.
I'm experiencing the exact same problem that was experienced in the second 
part of this thread:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/fedora-directory/msg12552.html (scroll down 
to the bottom and look for the text "When i enter the correct credentials, 
it seems that everything is").  There was never a resolution posted to 
that issue.
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas.  Re-authenticating isn't a big 
deal once I open up the Directory Server window, but this is stopping me 
from setting up SSL on the directory through the console.
Thanks,
Matt
