Testing the LDAP configuration

After you have configured the LDAP server, you must test it to ensure that the user authentication details are properly matched when users log in to SDL ETS.

Before you begin

You need to have an ETS administrator user account to access the following operations.

Procedure

  1. Launch the Web GUI.
  2. Log in using an ETS administrator account.
  3. Navigate to Manage > LDAP.
  4. In the upper right-hand corner, select Edit.
  5. (Optional) Enter a Test Username and Test Password.
  6. Select Test Settings.

Results

A series of validation tests will run:
  • LDAP server connection: tests the values in the Connection section.
  • Binding of bind user: tests the bind user in Bind User for Search, if you had specified one.
  • Test user authentication: tests if the test user can login, if you said specified a test user.
  • Full login: login group membership: tests if the test user has an admin role, if you specified a test user.
  • Full login: admin group membership: tests if the test user has an admin role, if you specified a test user.
