@spgreenberg still on lab 13, I ran into another issue. I am not able to verify the web-ui connection to the rest-backend service. I created the rest-back-end service with the credentials of my roster app. However when I bind the web-ui to that service and launch the route to the web UI I get the follow error when I hit the view people button: Please connect your app to the rest data service
Any thoughts on what I am missing?

    Can you post the output of cf env web-ui? Also make sure you have restarted the web-ui after you bound the service instance.

    the parameter of the user provided service is case sensitive. the name needs to be url and you should also drop the https:// as the value should just be the route of the rest data service. Make those updates, restart the web-ui and it should work.
