Ldap users authentication works, but they do not appear properly in some places. API server error (500) in resources.

I have succeeded to set-up slurm-web, but there are some small issues. Particularly, concerning ldap I have succeeded to enable authentication and works quite fine (as I have tested it for my own user). In the configuration file I have the following lines,

[ldap]
uri=ldaps://ldap.eden.mini.pw.edu.pl
user_base=ou=people,dc=*,dc=*,dc=*,dc=*,dc=*
group_base=ou=group,dc=*,dc=*,dc=*,dc=*,dc=*
bind_dn=cn=admin,dc=*,dc=*,dc=*,dc=*,dc=*
cacert=/etc/certs/cacert.pem
starttls=no
user_class=account
user_name_attribute=uid
user_fullname_attribute=cn
user_primary_group_attribute=uidNumber
group_name_attribute=cn
group_object_classes=
        account
        posixGroup
        top
        shadowAccount
        edenuser

However, there are some small problems. For example, in jobs section, I can only see the (account) name in the table. Moreover, I do not see users on the filters. Apart from users, partitions are not visible in filters as well (however they are visible in the table). For some reason I cannot locate the command slurm-web-ldap-check, to check what is wrong (I do not know if it is properly installed).

Finally, I see the following error in the resources

API server error (500): The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to ask this question.

P.S. I just want to inform that we have some users with special characters from Polish alphabet in their names. Maybe it causes some issues?

Did you install Slurm-web with official RPM or Deb packages? If yes, the command is installed in this path:

# /usr/libexec/slurm-web/slurm-web-ldap-check

What happens when you run this command?

Do you see this error above the table of nodes? If yes, did you define your RacksDB database to describe your cluster?

No it shouldn't be an issue, as long as locales are using a character encoding set that supports unicode such as UTF-8.
