[389-users] management console authentication error

Hi Herb,

Ok you shouldn't be using "o=netscaperoot" from a different machine, but 
if both machines are setup EXACTLY the same way, then you might be able 
to replace the hostname.  But this is error prone, and we should try and 
get the master B registered on master A's console.  Did you try setting 
up a admin domain that points to master B's machine?

see comments below...

This isn't the right bind dn we are looking for.  :-)    We want to see 
the the results from "uid=admin" and "cn=directory manager".

This might be caused by some access restrictions.  Do a ldapsearch on 
o=netscaperoot and look for:

dn: cn=configuration, cn=admin-serv-HOSTNAME, cn=389 Administration 
Server, cn=Server Group, cn=HOST.DOMAIN, ou=DOMAIN, o=NetscapeRoot

nsAdminAccessAddresses
nsAdminAccessHosts

Use ldapmodify to change the settings if needed.  Make sure that the 
host you are trying to connect from is allowed by the settings.  You 
could just set both to "*" for now.  You will need to restart the admin 
server for this change to take effect.

Thanks,
Mark
