Troubleshooting JBoss Portal 4.3

Problems that might occure while working with JBoss Portal:

- Admin link is not visible (between Dashboard and Logout)

That occurs when the admin is not in upper case in the LDAP. See the example of two *.ldif files. One works, the other does not.

Does not work:
dn: cn=admin,ou=Roles,o=rbrackma,dc=redhat,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: groupOfNames
cn: admin
description: Administrators
member: uid=admin,ou=People,o=rbrackma,dc=redhat,dc=com

Works:
dn: cn=Admin,ou=Roles,o=rbrackma,dc=redhat,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: groupOfNames
cn: Admin
description: Administrators
member: uid=admin,ou=People,o=rbrackma,dc=redhat,dc=com

In the EPP logs you might also find another error:


- ERROR [LDAPUserProfileModuleImpl] No such attribute ('title') in entry: uid=admin,ou=People,o=example,dc=jboss,dc=com

LDAP is looking for the attribute title, but does not find it within the RHDS LDAP. Does not cause any problem within the system, but is annoying.
