This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the LdapTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. 

• When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. e.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.

• The DISTINGUISHEDNAME represents the server's Distinguished name. This value is to be specified when the server requires explicit authentication of requests. By default, this attribute is set to "none", implying that authentication is not required.

• In the PASSWORD text box, specify the password to be used for authenticating the request. The password is to be specified whenever the DISTINGUISHEDNAME is not "none".

• Confirm the password (if specified) by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• If the value chosen against the ISPASSIVE parameter is YES, then the LDAP server under consideration is a passive server in an LDAP cluster. No alerts will be generated if the server is not running. Measures will be reported as "Not applicable" by the agent if the server is not up.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the Update button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with "$" indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to "xyz" and $port will be changed to "80" when configuring a test.
