Ping Directory Server
A simple ping test is performed after it is verified that there is a valid IP address or domain name for the
directory server. The ping test sends a maximum of four ping packets to the directory server and reports
success or failure.
• A successful test reports that Onboard Administrator can establish a network path to the directory
server.
• A failed test reports that Onboard Administrator cannot establish a network path to the directory server.
The administrator should verify the host name or IP address.
Directory Server IP Address
If the LDAP configuration specifies an IP address instead of a DNS, then this test validates that the IP address
is a valid IPv4 address. Otherwise the test reports Not Run for a status.
• A successful test reports that the IP address stored for the directory server is a valid IPv4 address.
• A failed test reports that the IP address stored for the directory server is not a valid IPv4 address. The
administrator must verify the IP address entered and correct the IP address.
Directory Server DNS Name
The DNS lookup test determines if Onboard Administrator can resolve the domain name of the LDAP server.
If the LDAP server configuration uses IP addresses instead of a DNS name, then this test reports Not Run.
• A successful test reports that Onboard Administrator is able to resolve the Directory Server host name
using domain name.
• A failed test reports that Onboard Administrator is unable to resolve the Directory Server host name. The
administrator must verify that the directory server host name is correct and that the host name is correct
for the directory server.
Connect to Directory Server
This test attempts to connect to the specified directory server IP address and service port. A successful
connection attempt indicates that the directory service is running and available at the specified directory
server and port.
• A successful test reports that Onboard Administrator can establish a connection to the directory server
at the host name or address specified and the port number specified. The successful test reports that
there is network service available.
• A failed test reports that Onboard Administrator cannot establish a connection to the directory server.
The unsuccessful test reports that the network service is not available. The administrator must verify the
host name or address and port number.
Connect using SSL
This test verifies that the directory server is providing the directory service over an SSL connection.
• A successful test reports that Onboard Administrator can establish an SSL connection to the directory
server host name or IP address and port. The network service is available as a secure SSL connection.
• A failed test reports that the network service is not available as a secure SSL connection and the
Onboard Administrator does not allow this type of connection. The administrator must identify a
directory server which supports SSL connections or reconfigure the directory server to use SSL
connections.
