[midPoint] First start in MidPoint on Docker an LDAP

[David Klement]

Hi Stephan,

firstly, thanks for detailed repro steps.

I have tried to reproduce the steps you describe in your message and all works fine on my end:

1. Download the script from https://docs.evolveum.com/midpoint/quickstart/
	$ curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Evolveum/midpoint-docker/master/midpoint-quickstart.sh
	$ chmod 744 midpoint-quickstart.sh
2. Start midPoint 4.9.4 using the script
	$ ./midpoint-quickstart.sh start
3. Create a new resource from scrath with the ADLdapConnector, with the same name, description, and lifecycle state you used
4. Proceed to the Configuration screen (I stopped here)
(5. Clean the environment sequentially using the `down`, `clean`, and `clean-db` arguments to the `midpoint-quickstart.sh` script after the testing.)

I have tried and succeeded both as regular user and as root. As the Quick start script uses Docker image, the out-of-the-box behavior should be the same across environments. The connection to the resource may fail due to various reasons (firewall rules, for instance), but at this initial step, I and my colleagues cannot think of any specific point of failure. Hence, I can only advise to check whether it could be somehow caused by your local machine configuration, to try a different connector to see if it exhibits the same behavior, or to try it on another machine to see if there is a difference.

I am sorry I cannot provide more specific help guidance and I hope you can figure out the cause of the issue soon.

Best regards

Subject: [midPoint] First start in MidPoint on Docker an LDAP

Hi there, 



I’m trying to set up MidPoint. I started by using a Docker instance on Ubuntu. I used the „midpoint-quickstart.sh“ script to launch the instance on 4.9.4. 

After logging in with the provided credentials, I was able to access the dashboard. 

Now, I’m trying to add an LDAP Active Directory Connector. I went to the „ Resources “ section, clicked on „New resource,“ then „From scratch,“ and selected „ADLdapConnector.“ 
I filled in the fields with the following information: 

- Name: „Demo-AD“ 

- Description: „Test“ 

- Lifecycle state: „Proposed“ 



After clicking the „Next: Configuration“ button , I saw a short „refresh“ circle in the header, but nothing happened. Restarting the Docker container didn’t make any difference either. 





root at midpoint:/home/midadm# ./midpoint-quickstart.sh up
