any reason not to just change this to:
if (rc == APR_SUCCESS) {
              return DECLINED;
          }

and make it easier to read in the process ?

For some reason, there are several places in the code where this style is used,
and we decided to just keep the same style for the sake of consistency.

This code is very old, written several years ago for the original Netscape
Enterprise Server based Admin Server and ported last year to an Apache module. 
We'd like to just get rid of it altogether and replace it with a proper java or
python web app, that's why we haven't been spending a lot of time maintaining
this code.

Is this still broken in 389-ds-1.2.2? Still having the issues described here:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-directory-users/2006-March/msg00071.html

with hosts that don't have reverse DNS. Tried the solution from 2006, but still no dice loading server info or logs via the web interface.

What version of 389-admin are you using?  What is your platform?

Look for HostnameLookups in your /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/console.conf

It seems it's a hostname issue.

If I access the server as http://primaryhostname:9830, it works.

If I access it using another hostname, the web interface returns errors as described below.

Thanks.

Long bunch of extra stuff I wrote before figuring out the above:

I am running 389-ds-base-1.2.10.4-2.fc16.x86_64 with 389-admin-1.1.23-1.fc16.x86_64 on Fedora 16 x86_64.

HostnameLookups is off in /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/console.conf

I can admin the server using 389-console running on the same machine as the server using http://127.0.0.1:9830 and the http://serverip:9830 as the Admin URL.

However, if I access the web interface using a browser at http://secondaryhostname:9830/admin-serv/tasks/configuration/HTMLAdmin?op=index and click any  link (Replication Status, Server Info, etc.) I get an Apache error page:

Authorization Required

This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

[notice] [client 1.2.3.4] admserv_host_ip_check: ap_get_remote_host could not resolve 1.2.3.4
[warn] [client 1.2.3.4] admserv_host_ip_check: failed to get host by ip addr [1.2.3.4] - check your host and DNS configuration

I did the

replace: nsAdminAccessAddresses
nsAdminAccessAddresses: *
replace: nsAdminAccessHosts
nsAdminAccessHosts: *

as per http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:AdminServerLDAPMgmt

I also set

configuration.nsadminaccesshosts: *
configuration.nsadminaccessaddresses: *

in /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/local.conf.
