tests will not be executed, and the test will show a result of "N/A". The IP Address
may show "N/A" for the following reasons:

EKM Server Settings, on the Configure Library > Encryption page, are not
configured correctly.

screen. If any of the tests fail, refer to Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting,” on page 7-1 for
