Well the cockpit UI plugin is not finished yet (but we are VERY close to
wrapping it up).

And as I have mentioned multiple times on this mailing list the
389-admin/console packages are deprecated and will completely removed in
Fedora 31.  So I am afraid on Debian and other platforms that do not
have "Cockpit" there will not be any kind of UI.

Yeah, so you are looking at "sample" data in the database tab. However,
in 1.4.0.22-1 the database management tab is now complete!  That release
is currently in testing, please see the email on this list with the
subject:  "Announcing 389 Directory Server 1.4.0.22", you will find
links to the builds, etc.  Try it out.

Yes, and it will work in Fedora 30 as well, but come Fedora 31 the old
standalone java UI will be removed.

Well like I said the new Cockpit UI is almost done, in 1.4.0.22 the only
tabs that are "not" working are the Monitoring tab (which I will finish
this week) and the "Security tab" - everything else is working now.

I expect/hope the new Cockpit UI will be 100% complete in the next two
months (hopefully sooner).

Mark
