The IMSUserTest monitors the user accounts that exist in a domain.  

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

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

• In the HOST text box, the host name of the iPlanet messaging server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• In the PORT text box, the SMTP port of the iPlanet messaging server needs to be specified.

• 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.

• To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, eG embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option against DETAILED DIAGNOSIS. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

  The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability

  • Both the bad and normal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

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

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.

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
