@jkbundala, is there a reason why you are using an unreleased, unsupported version `open-release/juniper.alpha1` instead of the latest `open-release/ironwood.2` release? If this is a production or production-like deployment, I’d strongly recommend using the Ironwood version.

However, if you are using this installation to test the Juniper release, you should update the title of this forum thread to include `Juniper alpha` as mentioned in [this post](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/juniper-alpha-1/1065) and ping `nedbat` with more details.
