Result
—Reports status for a specific directory setting or an operation that uses one or more directory
settings. These results are generated when a sequence of tests is run. The results stop when the tests
run to completion, when a test failure prevents further progress, or when the tests are stopped. Test
results follow:
◦
Passed
—The test ran successfully. If more than one directory server was tested, all servers that
ran this test were successful.
◦
Not Run
—The test was not run.
◦
Failed
—The test was unsuccessful on one or more directory servers. Directory support might not
be available on those servers.
◦
Warning
—The test ran and reported a warning condition, for example, a certificate error. Check
the
Notes
column for suggested actions to correct the warning condition.

Notes
—Indicates the results of various phases of the directory tests. The data is updated with failure
details and information that is not readily available, like the directory server certificate subject and
which roles were evaluated successfully.
iLO directory tests
Directory Server DNS Name
If the directory server is defined in FQDN format (directory.company.com), iLO resolves the name
from FQDN format to IP format, and queries the configured DNS server.
If the test is successful, iLO obtained an IP address for the configured directory server. If iLO cannot
obtain an IP address for the directory server, this test and all subsequent tests fail.
If the directory server is configured with an IP address, iLO skips this test.
Ping Directory Server
iLO initiates a ping to the configured directory server.
The test is successful if iLO receives the ping response; it is unsuccessful if the directory server does
not reply to iLO.
If the test fails, iLO will continue with the subsequent tests.
Connect to Directory Server
iLO attempts to negotiate an LDAP connection with the directory server.
If the test is successful, iLO was able to initiate the connection.
If the test fails, iLO was not able to initiate an LDAP connection with the specified directory server.
Subsequent tests will stop.
Connect using SSL
iLO initiates SSL handshake and negotiation and LDAP communications with the directory server
through port 636.
If the test is successful, the SSL handshake and negotiation between iLO and the directory server
were successful.
LDAP server certificate validation errors are reported in the results for this test.
Bind to Directory Server
This test binds the connection with the user name specified in the test controls. If no user is specified,
iLO does an anonymous bind.
