Question on installing Multiple Directory Servers

Question

Hello All,
I seem to be having a problem installing multiple directory servers, and I was hoping that somebody could help me. Here is what I am trying to do:
I install DS 2005Q4 on HostA. I have it be the User/Group and Configuration Server. This install goes ok and I can use the administration server and console to manage the servers.
I then go to HostB and install DS 2005Q4 and tell it to use the configuration server on HOSTA. I use the the passwords for Admin and Directory Manager and tell it to store User/Group information. I also install the admistration server.
The problem is when I go to manage this second ldap server throught either administration server it tells me that I have insufficient rights. That is if I click on the configuration tab and try and look at anything.
The second adminsitration server can see and manage the DS on HOSTA fine, but not the DS on HostB. The same thing goes for the administration server on HostA. It can manage the DS on HostA but not the DS on HostB. It keeps saying insufficient rights.
The end goal is to setup these DS in multimaster replication and have the o=netscaperoot replicated to HostB.
I am sure I must be doing something stupid, but I have banged my head on the wall all week and I thought I would see if somebody had any suggestions.
The hardware is a pair of v210's with 4GB of memory and I am running Solaris 10 01/06 fully patched.
Thanks for any help,
Gary

Answer 1

just for completness, when you have installed the consumer, you have manually started the admin server up haven't you??? if not, do so!
also ensure that the host file holds the correct IP and host/host domain name.
ensure you can contact the config server from your consumer etc.
ensure you can connect to the consumer from the config server etc.
if using the GUI from a machine other than the config server, ie pc based. ensure connectivity and host look up is acheivable from the PC.
