Fedora directory users - Jan 2008 - Difficulties with fedora-idm-console

Hi everyone...I''m new to LDAP and FDS, so please bear with me.

I just install FDS 1.1 on a clean F8 box.  I got through the setup scripts but
when I launch fedora-idm-console, and enter my login info I keep getting an
Error 400 response.  My login looks like this:

User ID: cn=Directory Manager
Password: ********
Administration URL: http://localhost:9830

I''ve tried all kinds of variations, username w/o the "cn=",
logging in as "admin", and every variation of
IP/partially/fully-qualified domain name I could think of for the box. 
I''ve also tried running with ''-a'' (it didn''t
recognize the -d option, recommended to me by someone in the #fedora-ds room). 
This is my error, no matter what I do:

Can''t logon because of an incorrect User ID,
Incorrect password or Directory problem.
HttpException:
Response: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Status: 400
URL: http:/admin-serv/authenticate

This last line bothers me...it looks as if the console is not even trying to
pass the login info to a valid URL!  If I just point my browser at
http://localhost:9830/ I get the HTML back-end and can authenticate there to get
into the "Adminsitration Express" tool, so I''m fairly
convinced I''m using the correct login info...

I''s confused...

hi,
  Login username should be "admin". What hostname was given to your
ldap
directory server? Try putting a hostname to your interface IP address inside
/etc/hosts and try again.

I had this same same issue until I changed the JAVA variable in the
fedora-idm-console script (or you could fix your PATH so the correct jre
came first, it''s just doing `which java`).

Are you sure you are using the icedtea java and not the default gcj?  
Try this
java -version
and
yum install java-1.7.0-icedtea
