5.2. Known issues
This section documents known problems and, if applicable, workarounds in Directory Server 11.6.
Directory Server settings that are changed outside the web console’s window are not automatically visible
Because of the design of the Directory Server module in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 web console, the web console does not automatically display the latest settings if a user changes the configuration outside of the console’s window. For example, if you change the configuration using the command line while the web console is open, the new settings are not automatically updated in the web console. This applies also if you change the configuration using the web console on a different computer. To work around the problem, manually refresh the web console in the browser if the configuration has been changed outside the console’s window.

Configuring a referral for a suffix fails in Directory Server
If you set a back-end referral in Directory Server, setting the state of the backend using the dsconf <instance_name> backend suffix set --state referral command fails with the following error:
Error: 103 - 9 - 53 - Server is unwilling to perform - [] - need to set nsslapd-referral before moving to referral state
As a consequence, configuring a referral for suffixes fail. To work around the problem:
Set the
nsslapd-referralparameter manually:# ldapmodify -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W -H ldap://server.example.com dn: cn=dc\3Dexample\2Cdc\3Dcom,cn=mapping tree,cn=config changetype: modify add: nsslapd-referral nsslapd-referral: ldap://remote_server:389/dc=example,dc=com
Set the back-end state:
# dsconf <instance_name> backend suffix set --state referral
As a result, with the workaround, you can configure a referral for a suffix.

Directory Server replication fails after changing password of the replication manager account
After a password change, Directory Server does not properly update the password cache for the replication agreement. As a consequence, when you change the password for the replication manager account, the replication breaks. To work around this problem, restart the Directory Server instance. As a result, the cache is rebuilt at start-up, and the replication connection binds with the new password instead of the old one.
