Installation failing on the LDAP -- irrespective if I select "Install LDAP". We have an external LDAP -- so it is not 100% necessary, but for ease on the Gluu PoC, we would prefer with the LDAP. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Snippet from setup.log: ``` 23:02:12 06/27/17 Running: /bin/su ldap -c cd /opt/opendj ; export OPENDJ_JAVA_HOME=/opt/jre ; /opt/opendj/setup --no-prompt --cli --propertiesFilePath /opt/opendj/opendj-setup.properties --acceptLicense 23:02:14 06/27/17 An error occurred while parsing the command-line arguments: An unexpected error occurred while attempting to initialize the command-line arguments: An error occurred while attempting to read the contents of the argument properties file /opt/opendj/opendj-setup.properties: FileNotFoundException(/opt/opendj/opendj-setup.properties (Permission denied)) ERROR: No password was provided for the initial root user.

Hi, Hari. What version of RHEL7 do you use? Have you tried to update your distro prior to install? Did you disable SELinux? Please also have a look at [minimal requirements](https://gluu.org/docs/ce/3.0.2/installation-guide/#minimum-requirements) for Gluu CE.

> We have an external LDAP -- so it is not 100% necessary Just one note... it actually is necessary even if you have an external LDAP. The Gluu Server needs its local LDAP to store user data, like sessions and attributes. Thanks, Will

Thanks Will! Our PoC server is: 3.10.0-514.21.2.el7.x86_64 -- if PoC is successful, likely will be AWS. Running setup.py as 'sudo -i' -- for outpout from 'setup.log' below -- should I manually create file 'opendj-setup.properties' -- but was unsure on values to set? ``` 11:22:47 06/28/17 Running: /bin/su ldap -c cd /opt/opendj ; export OPENDJ_JAVA_HOME=/opt/jre ; /opt/opendj/setup --no-prompt --cli --propertiesFilePath /opt/opendj/opendj-setup.properties --acceptLicense 11:22:49 06/28/17 An error occurred while parsing the command-line arguments: An unexpected error occurred while attempting to initialize the command-line arguments: An error occurred while attempting to read the contents of the argument properties file /opt/opendj/opendj-setup.properties: FileNotFoundException(/opt/opendj/opendj-setup.properties (Permission denied)) ERROR: No password was provided for the initial root user.

Yes good idea. Often times can be an issue with how the VM is configured. Let us know how it goes.
