[389-users] GUI errors when viewing replication agreements

[Wes Hardin]

When viewing replication agreements in the 389-console (under the Configuration
tab, Replication, userRoot), the first time I select each replication agreement,
I am greeted by an error window titled "Insufficient Permissions" stating "The
user cn=root does not have the permission to perform this operation."

cn=root is my directory manager account.  I am not trying to make any changes, I
get this error simply by selecting the agreement so I can view it and check the
status.  I can click OK to acknowledge the error and then I am prompted to login
again.  I can hit cancel and continue navigating, but if I attempt to make any
change in this area, the "Save" button does not activate to let me do so.  I can
use the Directory tab and navigate down through cn=config tree and change the
agreement entries via the normal property editor window.  I can also delete the
agreement from the Configuration tab.

I'm using 389-console 1.1.7-0ubuntu1 on Kubuntu 12.04, but I have colleagues who
run the 389-console from the server (389-console-1.1.7-3.el5.noarch) and see the
same error.

These are the packages on the server, which is CentOS 5.7:
# rpm -qa 389-\*
389-admin-1.1.29-1.el5.x86_64
389-console-1.1.7-3.el5.noarch
389-ds-base-libs-1.2.10.4-5.el5.x86_64
389-admin-console-1.1.8-1.el5.noarch
389-ds-base-devel-1.2.10.4-5.el5.x86_64
389-ds-base-1.2.10.4-5.el5.x86_64
389-ds-console-1.2.6-1.el5.noarch
389-ds-console-doc-1.2.6-1.el5.noarch
389-adminutil-1.1.15-1.el5.x86_64
389-admin-console-doc-1.1.8-1.el5.noarch
389-adminutil-devel-1.1.15-1.el5.x86_64

While troubleshooting replication a while back, I lost all my replication
agreements and recreated them all from the CLI using some instructions I found
for RHDS.  I don't recall if this error occurred before that or not.  If I
delete and re-create the agreement through the GUI, I do not get this error when
selecting that same agreement, even after restarting the GUI.
