Description of problem: I built out a new RHDS 8 master using setup-ds-admin.pl. That instance works fine when using the IDM console and I do not get prompted for a directory manager password. Then I added a second instance on a different port using setup-ds.pl. I used register-ds-admin.pl in interactive mode and ran through all the options. register-ds-admin.pl registered the new instance with the admin server. However, whenever I access this new instance via the IDM console, I am prompted for the directory manager password. I correctly provided this information when running register-ds-admin.pl. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-ds-admin-8.0.4-3.el5dsrv How reproducible: every time, I've tried multiple times Steps to Reproduce: 1. install a new master with setup-ds-admin.pl (with a local admin server) 2. install another instance with setup-ds.pl 3. run register-ds-admin.pl and provide all the requested information 4. setup-ds-.pl and register-ds-admin.pl will both complete successfully 5. log in with admin user in the IDM console 6. open the new instance, you will be prompted for the directory manager password. Actual results: prompted for the directory manager password Expected results: The new instance should open in the IDM console without prompting for a password.

I believe that this is taken care of by my recent fix for bug 486402. The problem was that the register-ds-admin.pl script was not setting the pass-through authentication plug-in, which is used to let the admin user authenticate to the non-config DS instances. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 486402 ***
