Error inviting user in an organization

Hello guys.

I’ve tried to invite a new user in our organization and he gets an error saying that
"There was a problem processing one or more invitations. Please try again later."

I’ve run chef-server-ctl reconfigure and then chef-server-ctl test and the results of the test is as follow:

Pending: (Failures listed here are expected and do not affect your suite's status)

  1) opscode-account user association user not in org can be invited to the org by an admin when the inviting admin     is removed from the org, invites issued by that admin cannot be accepted

My colleague still have no access receiving the same error.
I’ve also tried to run add manually the user in the organization and the result says that user is already associated with the organization.

What else can I do?

Thank you,
Gabriel

As nobody answered and as I got to have to deal with it, I’ve discovered that the problem comes from the fact that my chef server, being connected with LDAP, had somehow already that user in a group and was not able to add it again.

I tried to solve with the solution provided here https://github.com/chef/chef-server/issues/13

But it didn’t worked. And in the end, I’ve decided to remove the LDAP connection and to create local users.

Not the best solution, but it worked.
