hi cary

you can login to secondary master using admin console be changing in  3
different places

1. /opt/fedora-ds/admin-serv/config/adm.conf
2. /opt/fedora-ds/shared/config/dbswitch.conf

edit an entry under the configuration directory server under the suffice
0=netscaperoot

The entry can be found by first doing the following ldapsearch:

#ldapsearch -x -b o=netscaperoot -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password
"nsDirectoryURL=*"

It would return similar to below

dn: cn=UserDirectory, ou=Global Preferences, ou=localdomain, o=NetscapeRoot

Copy the above dn: and create an ldif file with below contents

dn: cn=UserDirectory, ou=Global Preferences, ou=localdomain, o=NetscapeRoot
//Comment, Replace this line with your result of ldapsearch query
changetype: modify
replace: nsDirectoryURL
nsDirectoryURL: ldap://<secondary-master-ip/hostname/fqdn/>:port/suffix

You can refer the below link

Restart the admin console
#/opt/fedora-ds/stop-admin
#/opt/fedora-ds/start-admin

Then you can login to secondary master using adminconsole.
