Testing LDAP Servers

To test the connection to an LDAP server:

  1. When adding or editing an LDAP server profile in Silk Central, the Add LDAP Server dialog box, respectively the Edit LDAP Server dialog box displays a Test button.
  2. Click Test to display the Test LDAP Configuration dialog box.
  3. In the Test username field, enter a username to be used for testing LDAP authentication.
  4. Fill in the Test password associated with the user who is to be used for testing LDAP authentication.
  5. Click Test to execute an authentication test.
    Note: LDAP error codes are included when tests fail.
    A dialog box shows you whether or not the test was successful.
  6. Click Close to return to the Add LDAP Server dialog box, respectively the Edit LDAP Server dialog box. If the test connection was not successful, edit your settings or ask your system administrator for assistance. Then start over at step 2 again.
