HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide - HP Business ...

A failed test reports that the IP address stored for the directory server is not a valid IPv4 address. The
administrator must verify the IP address entered and correct the IP address.
Directory Server DNS Name
The DNS lookup test determines if Onboard Administrator can resolve the domain name of the LDAP server.
If the LDAP server configuration uses IP addresses instead of a DNS name, then this test reports Not Run.
A successful test reports that Onboard Administrator is able to resolve the Directory Server host name using
domain name.
A failed test reports that Onboard Administrator is unable to resolve the Directory Server host name. The
administrator must verify that the directory server host name is correct and that the host name is correct for the
directory server.
Connect to Directory Server
This test attempts to connect to the specified directory server IP address and service port. A successful
connection attempt indicates that the directory service is running and available at the specified directory
server and port.
A successful test reports that Onboard Administrator can establish a connection to the directory server at the
host name or address specified and the port number specified. The successful test reports that there is network
service available.
A failed test reports that Onboard Administrator cannot establish a connection to the directory server. The
unsuccessful test reports that the network service is not available. The administrator must verify the host name
or address and port number.
Connect using SSL
This test verifies that the directory server is providing the directory service over an SSL connection.
A successful test reports that Onboard Administrator can establish an SSL connection to the directory server
host name or IP address and port. The network service is available as a secure SSL connection.
A failed test reports that the network service is not available as a secure SSL connection and the Onboard
Administrator does not allow this type of connection. The administrator must identify a directory server which
supports SSL connections or reconfigure the directory server to use SSL connections.
Certificate of Directory Server
If the directory server SSL certificate has been loaded onto Onboard Administrator verify that the certificate
provided by the directory server matches the current certificate stored on Onboard Administrator. If the
directory server SSL certificate has not been loaded, then this test does not run.
A successful test reports that Onboard Administrator was able to validate the directory server certificate
against the certificates stored on Onboard Administrator for the specified directory server.
A failed test reports that the directory server certificate stored on Onboard Administrator does not match the
certificate provided on the SSL connection.
User Authentication
This test attempts to log in the user to the directory using the username and password provided. User
authentication proceeds first by using the username and password provided. If this fails, then each search
context is attempted. If a search context begins with the character @, then the DN used to log in is the search
name concatenated to the username entered. Otherwise the search DN used to log in is constructed as
follows; cn=,. The result from this test identifies the search context that was
successful in authenticating the user.
