Figure 240 Active Directory Service area layout
The Active Directory Service area contains the following fields:
• Refresh icon —Click the Refresh icon to refresh the area.
• Service Name—Original name of the service.
• Display Name—Service name or alias displayed on the Windows service console. For example,
on the Windows service console, the DNS client service uses the alias DNS Client rather than the
original name DNScache. Typically, the display name identifies a service more clearly.
• State—Service state in the last APM polling period. A service whose state is not Running might
cause abnormality of the AD service.
LDAP service
LDAP is an application protocol based on TCP/IP for querying and modifying directory services. An
LDAP directory is organized with a tree structure. Each entry in it has a Distinguished Name (DN) and
consists of a set of attributes. Common LDAP implementations include Active Directory, Novell Directory
Service, and OpenLDAP.
This section describes how to add and modify the application monitor for the LDAP service and helps
you view the monitor report.
Adding an LDAP service application monitor
APM monitors the running state of the LDAP service through the LDAP service port (TCP port 389 by
default). When you add an LDAP service application monitor, follow these guidelines:
• Make sure the host providing LDAP services has been added to the IMC Platform. For information
about adding hosts to the IMC Platform, see IMC Base Platform Administrator Guide for the
chapter on resource management.
• The username and password for the LDAP service must be provided. APM uses the LDAP username
and password to access the LDAP service.
