I was running OpenAM fine for a couple of weeks, had created trees, policies, etc.
Today when I went to try to login I was prompted with the installation screen:
Create Default Configuration
Create New Configuration
As far as I can tell this happened after I dropped a new schema on the external OpenDS. But now I can't get rid of the error even after removing the schema file. Have I messed things up or can I recover my previous configuration?
The comment from Bernhard Thalmayr allowed me to solve this issue by seeing that the problem was a file permission that was assigned to root instead of the user running OpenAM
