SYMPTOMS
The DSA record in the metadirectory may lose particular attributes. The following table is a partial list of the attributes that may be missing when you run a "View all attributes" query on the DSA record.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur after a missing DSA record has been automatically reconstructed by VIACompact.



RESOLUTION
To restore the missing attributes to the DSA record:
 * 1) Stop the server.
 * 2) In the Zoomserv\Bin\Init folder, type ..\importt -updatedib -updateallattributes.

If the icons on the Action bar for the DSA are missing (that is, there is no Configure the management agent icon:
 * Stop the server.
 * In the Zoomserv\Bin\Init\Methods folder, type loadmeth.bat.



MORE INFORMATION
Other indications of a missing DSA record include the ability to log on to the server by using HTTP, but not LDAP. This occurs because the security verification methods for HTTP, unlike LDAP, do not access the DSA record.
