We have had issues where users have tried to delete entries in the Identity Sources > LDAP Connections and have received an error message.

It has not been clear what is causing the error.  However as a work around, if the customer is competent with MySQL commands, we can send them the following fix.

This is a two-stage process.  The first stage you will delete the corresponding ldap entry.  The second stage you need to re-index the remaining entries.

When you are logged into MySQL please follow these instructions: 

use dualshield;

 select * from ldap_server_connection;

 You will get results similar to the example below except it will show your ldap entries:

Now as an example I want to remove the entry corresponding with id number 9. (circled in blue)

delete from ldap_server_connection where id = 9;  (You would obviously use the id that corresponds with the entry you wish to delete on your system)

 Then if you run the select * from ldap_server_connection;  again, you will notice the entry has been deleted:

But there is a new problem here because the index numbers (Circled in Red) are now out of sequence.  We are missing number 2.  So, you need to re-index the table.

To do this, we use the following command

Update ldap_server_connection set ldap_server_connections_idx = ldap_server_connections_idx – 1 where ldap_server_connections_idx > # (replacing the # with the index number that has been deleted)

 So for my example index number 2 has been deleted, so I type in

Update ldap_server_connection set ldap_server_connections_idx = ldap_server_connections_idx – 1 where ldap_server_connections_idx > 2;

 And then if we run the select * from command again you can see the index numbers are back in order.

You then need to restart the DualShield Server service.
