WSO2 Identity Server error starting, cannot find admin - ldap

Starting WSO2 Identity Server for the first time gives me this error:

I've tried setting AdminRole to 'admins' and 'cn=admins'. Same error either way.
I don't have a ton of experience setting up LDAP servers from scratch, but I think I installed 389-DS correctly.
See my group entry:
ldapsearch -b "cn=Admins,ou=Groups,dc=pcc,dc=edu" -D "cn=Directory
Manager" -W cn=* Enter LDAP Password:
dn: cn=admins,ou=Groups,dc=pcc,dc=edu objectClass: top objectClass:
groupofuniquenames uniqueMember: uid=jwhitene,ou=People,dc=pcc,dc=edu
cn: admins

Answer 1

I am not sure if you are interested in connecting to a ReadOnly LDAP or a read write.
However please make sure the configs are correctly done, and you've followed the steps in the document
[1]https://docs.wso2.com/display/IS500/Configuring+a+Read-only+LDAP+User+Store - for Read Only LDAP user store
[2] https://docs.wso2.com/display/IS500/Configuring+a+Read-write+LDAP+User+Store- for Read/Write LDAP user store
If you have followed these steps correctly, the please post the configuration of your user-mgt.xml with the full configuration of the user store, mention which user store in which mode you would want to connect, and please also copy the server error message you get from the wso2carbon.log file you find at repository/logs or the server console.
Regards,
Shani

Answer 2

As per your ldapsearch command result, admin username as jwhitene would solve the startup error.
For example :
<AdminUser>
<UserName>jwhitene</UserName>
<Password>xxxxxxxx</Password>
</AdminUser>
Explanation :
If you are connecting to read only userstore, Admin user should be available in the userstore\ldap.
<AdminUser>
<UserName>cn=Directory Manager</UserName>
<Password>xxxxxxxx</Password>
</AdminUser>
<Property name="UserSearchBase">ou=People,dc=pcc.edu,dc=cp</Property>
<Property name="UserNameAttribute">uid</Property>
As per your ldap configurations quoted above, Identity server will looks for an user under ou=People,dc=pcc.edu,dc=cp directory which have property uid set as value cn=Directory Manager
Basically if there a such user, it would like this,
uid=cn\=Directory Manager,ou=People,dc=pcc.edu,dc=cp
Since you don't have such user, the server complains with that error log and set hold the start up flow.
The user that shown in the ldapsearch command result (uid=jwhitene,ou=People,dc=pcc,dc=edu) will match with above search pattern. Hence putting jwhitene as the admin user will resolve the issue

Answer 3

With help from techs at Ellucian, I just got my system working.
Cause:I had an old version of OpenLDAP that used a different schema that did not match the defaults in the user-mgt.xml file.
Instead of ObjectClass=groupofuniquenames I configured my user-mgt.xml file using ObjectClass=posixGroup (which matches my OpenLDAP schema). I had to change the ObjectClass in a number of places. After that, my instance started up without any more problems.
