Resolution

This is a known issue that was addressed in Defect "DE95585"

The below was Identified to be the Root Cause:

- The Adminui Framework included method that creates agent api connection to fetch user directory. The same method is executed for all user directories which are not even selected which was causing the agent api connections to timeout and fail .

- the provided  DEV fix includes a Change to the Adminui Framework to limit the excessive Agent api connections with PS to fetch directory capabilities from LDAP.

The DEV fix was tested on 12.52 Sp1 Cr02 and confirmed successfully to Note that the same DEV fix will be included officially within 12.52 SP1 CR05
