Description of problem:
Launch the console and then shutdown the directory server. You can still
navigate around the server but many operations will correctly tell you that the
server is down and it cannot perform that operation or task.

How in the directory browser, right click to create "New user" results in a
java
exception

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
20050406.1.qa

How reproducible:
Consistently

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run ./startconsole.
2. Open the directory browser
3. Right click and choose to create a new user


Actual results:
Java exception occurs

Expected results:
I should get a message stating that the server is not contactable.

Additional info:
Here's the java exception;


java.lang.NullPointerException
