Watch out for that LDAP thingy with IBM Connections

Big mistake. Done over and over again.
When installing the software stack for IBM Connections you will need to connect to a catalog service, like LDAP.
You will add this LDAP as a repository to WAS. And here you may fail. WAS has a local repository. Here lies the wasadmin user. When adding a additional repository you will have two.

When logging on to WAS (deployment manager) WAS will authenticate against all repositories and must be able to access all.

Here it can go wrong. Once I created the wasadmin user in the Domino Directory. Other times the wasadmin user was there before and I did not check.

Moral is: Check the LDAP server when logging on WAS DM after repository setup. If wasadmin user is in the Domino Directory (if that's your choice) you will see an error on the console.

I should eat more of theese...
