Figure 481 The Authentication Test Progress Area
You can also verify operator authentication when you create a new LDAP server configuration using the
Test Settings button on the LDAP Configuration form (See "Creating an LDAP Server" on page 684 for a
description).
Looking Up Sponsor Names
This option is only available if sponsor lookup has been enabled for the server on the Edit Authentication
Server page.
1. To look up a sponsor, select a server name in the LDAP Server table, then click the Test Lookup link. The
Test Operator Lookup area is added to the LDAP servers list.
2. In the Lookup field, enter a lookup value. This can be an exact username, or you can include wildcards. If
you use wildcards, the search might return multiple values.
3. In the Search Mode field, use the drop-down list to specify whether to search for an exact match or use
wildcard values.
4. (Optional) To display detailed authorization information for the specified sponsor, select the Advanced
check box.
5. Click Search Directory to attempt to find sponsor names that match the lookup values, or click
Cancel to cancel the test. The Authentication Test area is added above the server names to indicate the
search’s progress.
