Well that worked - added a group in ldap named asadmin, now the nodeagent on the DAS server started & synced successfully
On another node, however, node-agent is still not coming up. But I don't believe it's ldap issue.
It's prompting to trust the cert from the DAS server, when I accept it ( by typing yes or y), it says invalid command. The certs are still the default bundled certs.
I haven't opened the trust stores yet, however I copied the cacerts.jks file from the DAS server ( that's the store nodeagent uses, right?) . That didn't work either.
