Configuration of DCLocatorstusTest

Periodically, this test invokes the DC Locator algorithm/process to check whether/not it is able to locate the AD server being monitored. The success/failure of the DC location process is then reported.

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.

• Specify the IP address of the machine where the Active Directory is installed, in the HOST text box.

• The port number through which the Active Directory communicates. The default port number is 389. in the PORT text box.

• 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.
