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.
LDAP server certificate validation errors are reported in the results for this test.
