I upgraded a test server running snow leopard to mavericks and then was having some weirdness so I decided to recreate my open directory, users and groups.
Server appears to be running and I am able to connect from a laptop /user
But… Work group manager does not see the users in Server except the server diradmin user, and there is a message at the top that says
"Viewing local directory /Local/Default. Not Authenticated."
Now I'm assuming the problem is that I need to authenticate Work group manager but I don't see how…
Previously I did see my users but they were all grey'd out. I think that's when I decided to recreate my open directory, users and groups. but now I see nothing as I said.
Also I get a message from Work Group Manager You are working in a directory node that is not visible to the network.
I should mention,
HOST NAME is nserver.local
WORK GROUP MANAGER Version 10.9 (421)
SERVER Version 3.1.2 (1354517)
My users are all Local Network Users,
My server does not use a domain name, I intend to have shared user storage, VPN and perhaps calendar.
Any tips or ideas?
Thank!

SOLVED FOR ME.
I don't recall seeing this before in Snow leopard (the interface was slightly different...), on the same line at the message "Viewing local directory /Local/Default. Not Authenticated." there is a small triangle --- clicking on this reveals a drop menu.
Select LDAPv3 from the list. Then click on the lock at the far end of that bar. Authenticate as DIRADMIN and it works.
