• The Administration Console Help button does not function properly

Clicking Help in the Administration Console fails and the console displays the error

interpreter "/usr/dt/bin/dtksh" not found.

The Administration Console uses the Firefox web browser (or the Mozilla web browser, if

Firefox is not available from the user's search path) to display help text. When Firefox and

Mozilla web browsers start the first time, they attempt to display licensing text in a graphical

window. This fails if the system does not have the Common Desktop Environment (CDE)

installed.

Workaround: Use one of the following workarounds:

— Install CDE.

— Before running the Administration Console, force the web browser to display the

licensing text in text mode. Do this by logging in as the user who will run the console

and then starting the Firefox or Mozilla web browser from the shell in the foreground.

This causes the browser to display the licensing information in text mode. The default

locations for the web browsers are /opt/firefox/firefox and /opt/mozilla/

mozilla.

You must perform this procedure once for each user running the Administration Console,

and repeat it anytime you upgrade or reinstall the web browser.

• Disabling the TLS ciphers using the console fails

The Administration Server Console is hard-coded to set all TLS ciphers to enabled. If you

disable the TLS ciphers using the console, your change is not saved. When you restart the

Administration Server, the ciphers are still enabled.

Workaround: Do not edit the Administration Server ciphers using the console. Instead, edit

the /etc/opt/dirsrv/admin-serv/console.conf file directly.

• Importing or exporting a database using a remote console fails

Attempting an import or export database operation from the Tasks tab when using a remote

console might fail with the following error:

Cannot write to file

/var/opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/ldif/file.ldif

Workaround: If you use the on console machine option on the Import Databases or

Export Databases dialog box (accessed from the Tasks tab) to import or export an LDIF

file, specify an absolute path for the file. If you do not specify an absolute path, the console

uses the default server machine path /var/opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/ldif,

which may not be valid on the console machine (a Windows laptop, for example). You can

also use the Browse button to locate an appropriate path on the console machine.

NOTE: If you are importing or exporting an LDIF on the local server system, you can

specify the file using a relative path.

• Console cannot access the CRL file

When using the console to install a CRL, the console returns an error if the CRL is placed in

the /etc/opt/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name directory.

Workaround: Place the CRL in the Administration Server directory /etc/opt/dirsrv/

admin-serv. The console can access the CRL file there.
