Hello Deany,

thank you very much for your response.

No, it's the usual administrator account in SSGD's ENS schema. I paid
attention to be logged in only once.
No matter how I access the admin console - via the Administrator's
webtop or using directly /sgadmin - I was every time logged out (or
got the java exception error) when trying to assign a user group to
this object.

I want to assign a ldap group of users to the object myApplications.

# tarantella object list_attributes --name
".../_ens/o=applications/ou=myApplications"
Attributes for .../_ens/o=applications/ou=myApplications:
Organizational Unit: myApplications
clipboard: 2
editprofile: 2
inherit: 1
objectclass: organizationalunit,scottaauxorganizationalunit,top
serialport: 2
webtop: ..

While writing this I got the idea, that it's not possible at all to
assign a ldap user profile or a ldap user group to an organizational
unit, because an ou doesn't have the attribute ldapgroups. Is that
right?

No, I get this error during browsing through the directory tree. Let's
say, I was clicking through the tree to the 3rd level and right after
that I want to open the 4th level - then I see this error.

But just for case the LDAP server closes the connection - what would
you suggest to do? I would try to set idletimeout=0 in the slapd.conf.

Thank you very much again, it gives me hope, that there are
installations of SSGD and OpenLDAP without problems :)
