Installation Manual

◦ Failed—A specific subtest failed. Check the onscreen log to identify the problem.
◦ Warning—One or more of the directory tests reported a Warning status.
• Test—The name of each test.
For more information about the directory tests, see “iLO directory tests” (page 83).
• Result—Reports status for a specific directory setting or an operation that uses one or more
directory settings. These results are generated when a sequence of tests is run. The results
stop when the tests run to completion, when a test failure prevents further progress, or when
the tests are stopped. Test results follow:
◦ Passed—The test ran successfully. If more than one directory server was tested, all
servers that ran this test were successful.
◦ Not Run—The test was not run.
◦ Failed—The test was unsuccessful on one or more directory servers. Directory support
might not be available on those servers.
◦ Warning—The test ran and reported a warning condition, for example, a certificate
error. Check the Notes column for suggested actions to correct the warning condition.
• Notes—Indicates the results of various phases of the directory tests. The data is updated
with failure details and information that is not readily available, like the directory server
certificate subject and which roles were evaluated successfully.
iLO directory tests
• Directory Server DNS Name—If the directory server is defined in FQDN format
(directory.company.com), iLO resolves the name from FQDN format to IP format, and
queries the configured DNS server.
If the test is successful, iLO obtained an IP address for the configured directory server. If
iLO cannot obtain an IP address for the directory server, this test and all subsequent tests
fail.
If the directory server is configured with an IP address, iLO skips this test.
• Ping Directory Server—iLO initiates a ping to the configured directory server.
The test is successful if iLO receives the ping response; it is unsuccessful if the directory
server does not reply to iLO.
If the test fails, iLO will continue with the subsequent tests.
• Connect to Directory Server—iLO attempts to negotiate an LDAP connection with the
directory server.
If the test is successful, iLO was able to initiate the connection.
If the test fails, iLO was not able to initiate an LDAP connection with the specified directory
server. Subsequent tests will stop.
• Connect using SSL—iLO initiates SSL handshake and negotiation and LDAP
communications with the directory server through port 636.
If the test is successful, the SSL handshake and negotiation between iLO and the directory
server were successful.
• Bind to Directory Server—This test binds the connection with the user name specified in
the test boxes. If no user is specified, iLO does an anonymous bind.
If the test is successful, the directory server accepted the binding.
