Several tests begin in the background, starting with a network ping of the directory user by
establishing an SSL connection to the server and evaluating user privileges.
While the tests are running, the page refreshes periodically. You can stop the tests or manually
refresh the page at any time.

Table 6 Directory tests
Description Test
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. Directory Server DNS
Name
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.
If a failure occurs:
1. Verify that the DNS server configured in iLO is correct.
2. Verify that the directory server FQDN is correct.
3. As a troubleshooting tool, use an IP address instead of the FQDN.
4. If the problem persists, check the DNS server records and network routing.
iLO initiates a ping to the configured directory server. Ping 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.
If a failure occurs:
1. Check to see if a firewall is active on the directory server.
2. Check for network routing issues.
iLO attempts to negotiate an LDAP connection with the directory server. Connect to 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.
If a failure occurs:
