The test page displays the results of a series of simple tests designed to validate the current directory settings. Additionally, it includes a test log that shows test results as well as any problems that have been detected. After your directory settings are configured correctly, you do not need to
To verify your directory settings:
1.Enter the distinguished name and password of a directory administrator. A good choice would be the same credentials used when creating the iLO objects in the directory. These credentials are not stored by iLO. They are used to verify the iLO object and user search contexts.
2.Enter a test user name and password. Typically, this would be an account intended to access the iLO being tested. It can be the same account as the directory administrator, however the tests will be unable to verify user authentication with a "superuser" account. These credentials are not stored by iLO.
3.Click Start Test, several tests begin in the background, starting with a network ping of the directory user through establishing an SSL connection to the server and evaluating user privileges as they would be evaluated during a normal login.
While the tests are running, the page periodically refreshes. At any time during test execution, you can stop the tests or manually refresh the page.
4.Consult the help link on the page for test details and actions in the event of trouble.
User Login Using Directory Services
The iLO login page Login Name field accepts all of the following:
•Directory users
•LDAP Fully Distinguished Names
Example: CN=John Smith,CN=Users,DC=HP,DC=COM, or @HP.com
NOTE: The short form of the login name by itself does not tell the directory which domain you are trying to access. You must provide the domain name or use the LDAP distinguished name of your account.
