We all have our challenges in life to bear.

I think that you found this application indicates we have an issue where we are 
miscommunicating or advertising software that shouldn't be - I think perhaps we 
should look into this.

How did you find the gateway and the sample application? What led you to think 
they were available (so that we can remove or modify these references)?

There are current discussions within SUSE about initiating this as we require 
similar. 389 DS has an admin portal via cockpit, but not an ldap self service 
that most orgs would like to see. We have had many requests for self-service 
webui and I think we should supply one as an upstream project.

I would happily mentor and coordinate if you were interested, but the likely 
path forward would be flask + lib389 to enable something like this. As with 
anything, time is the barrier to many things and my current time is being put 
into container development aspects of the project.

In the mean time, you could use the CLI tools to achieve this for the junior 
members, but they also may need some extension to achieve what you would like.
