Creating virtual server with LDAP

Hello,

I'm trying to setup a Virtualmin GPL Server using a LDAP server on a Debian Lenny x64 box I applied the following legacy guide: http://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/id,combining_virtualmin_and_ldap/ The installation process went fine.

LDAP validation returned no error : Your system has been successfully configured as an LDAP client!

NSCD daemon has been shut down (and removed from startup steps) When I add a user using LDAP Users and Groups, everything works fine:

hebergement-pro 1000 users hebergement-pro /home/hebergement-pro /bin/sh

I can login to the box with FTP and SSH :

vm-virtualmin:/var/log# ssh hebergement-pro@192.168.1.25
hebergement-pro@192.168.1.25's password:
Last login: Tue Jun  1 13:55:38 2010 from 192.168.1.7
hebergement-pro@vm-virtualmin:~$
vm-virtualmin:/var/log# ftp localhost
Connected to localhost.
220 ProFTPD 1.3.1 Server (Debian) [::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Name (localhost:root): hebergement-pro
331 Password required for hebergement-pro
Password:
230 User hebergement-pro logged in
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.

BUT... When I try to create a virtual server, it fails with the following error message:

Creating administration group test ..
.. administration group was created but does not exist!
 
Failed to create virtual server : Critical feature Administration user was not properly created - Virtual server creation halted.

Which tests could I do to identify what is the root cause of this problem?

Curious if you ever got a fix for this - I'm running into it now with Virtualmin 3.82 Pro. I've got a ldap server set up on a separate system, I've configured webmin to be able to create/delete users/groups, but when I attempt to create a virtual server in Virtualmin I get....

Failed to create virtual server : Critical feature Administration user was not properly created - Virtual server creation halted.

I managed to make the issue Go Away...I think what was going on was the webmin server didn't restart after I had set up virtualmin to save user/group info in ldap...
