Installation Manual

4. Click Start Test.
Several tests begin in the background, starting with a network ping of the directory user by
establishing an SSL connection to the server and evaluating user privileges.
While the tests are running, the page refreshes periodically. You can stop the tests or manually
refresh the page at any time.
If a directory test reports the Failed status, see “Directory issues” (page 330).

Directory test input values
Enter the following values when you run directory tests:
• Directory Administrator Distinguished Name—Searches the directory for iLO objects,
roles, and search contexts. This user must have the right to read the directory.
• Directory Administrator Password—Authenticates the directory administrator.
• Test User Name and Test User Password—Tests login and access rights to iLO. This
name does not need to be fully distinguished because user search contexts can be applied.
This user must be associated with a role for this iLO.
Typically, this account is used to access the iLO processor being tested. It can be the directory
administrator account, but the tests cannot verify user authentication with a superuser
account. These credentials are not stored by iLO.
Directory test status values
iLO displays the following status values for directory tests:
• In Progress—Indicates that directory tests are currently being performed in the background.
Click Stop Test to cancel the current tests, or click Refresh to update the contents of the
page with the latest results. Using the Stop Test button might not stop the tests immediately.
• Not Running—Indicates that directory tests are current, and that you can supply new
parameters to run the tests again. Use the Start Test button to start the tests and use the
current test control values. Directory tests cannot be started after they are already in progress.
• Stopping—Indicates that directory tests have not yet reached a point where they can stop.
You cannot restart tests until the status changes to Not Running. Use the Refresh button
to determine whether the tests are complete.
Directory test results
The Directory Test Results section shows the directory test status with the date and time of
the last update.
• Overall Status—Summarizes the results of the tests.
Not Run—No tests were run.◦
◦ Inconclusive—No results were reported.
◦ Passed—No failures were reported.
