Hi, Video "[Part 3/3: Managing Authentication After You've Setup Cache Refresh](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyAEwJuwqn4)" ended with saying admin users cannot log in after setting up external LDAP Authentication. This happened to me. I had to run a specific LDIF to get access to the admin screen again. But then users are not able to login. How do I add a Gluu Administrator to my external LDAP so that I may access the Admin UI again after enabling external LDAP Authentication?

Hello William, >> How do I add a Gluu Administrator to my external LDAP It's actually up to you how you wanna add user 'admin' in your backend ldap server. But I think instead of doing that, you can add any user who can log into Gluu Server in Gluu server's admin group. You need to achieve that with ldif and ldapmodify command.

Thank you. That worked. Does this mean cache-refresh is limited to users only? (No group import)
