The IMSUserTest monitors the user accounts that exist in a domain. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the the IMSUserTest.

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

• In the SERVERROOT text box, specify the path to the directory into which all servers of a given server group (i.e., all servers managed by a given Administration Server) are installed. For example, in Windows environments, the path can be expressed as: C:\iplanet\server5. In Unix platforms, the path can be specified in the following format: /usr/iplanet/server5. A server group may include other iPlanet servers in addition to the messaging server.

• In the CONFIGROOT text box, specify the path to the directory in which the config root file "msg.conf" exists. By default, this file will be located within the "config" directory of the "current messaging server instance directory". For example, in Windows environments, the path can be expressed as: C:\iPlanet\Server5\msg-egtest\config. In Unix platforms, the path can be specified in the following format: usr/iplanet/server5/msg-sun08/config.

• In the DOMAINS text box, specify the names of the domains hosted in the current messaging server instance. Multiple domains can be provided as a comma-separated list, but ensure that there is no space between a comma and a domain name. Example: chn.egurkha.com,eg.egurkha.com. Only the users present in the specified domains will be monitored.

• Once the necessary values have been entered, 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.

Note:

• While installing the eG agent on an iPlanet messaging server in an Unix environment, ensure that the eG user (specified during agent installation) is the same as the iPlanet messaging server user (created at the time of the server installation).
• To run the IMSUserTest, the iPlanet messaging server's Directory Server configuration must be modified. The changes to be made are:
  1. Reset the Lookthroughlimit parameter to -1
  2. Reset the Sizelimit parameter to -1
