Doc Text:	.Directory Server web console does not automatically update settings that are changed outside the web console Because of the design of the Directory Server module in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 web console, the web console does not automatically display the latest settings if a user changes the configuration outside of the console 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 window.	Story Points:	---

Description Ding-Yi Chen 2019-09-11 05:22:35 UTC

Description of problem:
When user A is using WebUI, and user B is adding a new suffix using the command line. 
Then there is no clue for user A to know that new suffix is added.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
11.0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to Web UI (cockpit), go to "Red Hat Directory Server" -> Database
2. In terminal, ssh to the same machine and run 
 dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://rhds.example.com backend create --suffix="dc=example1,dc=com" --be-name="backend1"


Actual results:
Web UI shows nothing about the -suffix="dc=example1,dc=com", until user press browser refresh.


Expected results:
WebUI should either:
* Refresh the suffix section when new suffix added, or
* Notify user that a new suffix is added.

Build tested: 389-ds-base-1.4.3.21-2.module+el8dsrv+10309+dd9f990e.x86_64
cockpit-389-ds-1.4.3.21-2.module+el8dsrv+10309+dd9f990e.noarch

The Web UI shows nothing about the new suffix until the user presses browser refresh.

Marking as FailedQA.

Comment 9 thierry bordaz 2024-03-18 15:49:45 UTC

It is not expected that we support parallel use of CLI and UI.
It will require a large work and having others priority.

We are going to write this limitation in the documentation.
Closing it 'wontfix' for the moment. Please reopen if needed.
