Using the LDAP authentication test feature
After the Firebox X Edge is configured to use LDAP authentication,
you can use the LDAP authentication test feature to make sure the
Firebox can connect to the LDAP server. You can use the test for a
specified user account to make sure that the Firebox can success-
fully send and receive authentication requests for that user.
To use the test feature, click
LDAP Authentication Test
and type the
name and password of an LDAP user account. The user name must
be typed in the domain\user name format, such as mycom-
pany\admin.
