Issue/Introduction

Applying maintenance to CA LDAP sever (first time for me) is there an IVP that can be used to check out the maintenance?

Environment

Release : 15.1
Component : CA LDAP Server for z/OS

Resolution

The 'ldaptest' command can used to verify the installation and configuration of the CA LDAP server.

To verify the installation and configuration:

1. Verify that the CA LDAP Server started task is running.
2. Log in to UNIX System Services (USS) OMVS from TSO.
3. Change to the installation directory:
   cd /ldap_install_directory/
4. Execute ldaptest:

Syntax:
ldaptest [-f outfile][-h host_name -p port_value] -u userID -w password 

Example:
./ldaptest -u USER001 -w MYPASS -h my.hostname.net -p nnn

Options

• -f outfile (Optional) Specifies the file location for the test's output log file. You need write permission for the target directory.
  Default: IVPlog.txt
• -h host_name Specifies the host name or IP address (not in URL format) that runs a CA LDAP Server that accepts an ldap:// connection. Default: localhost
• -p port_value Specifies the TCP port where the CA LDAP Server runs. Default: nnn
• -u userID Specifies the user ID defined to the security manager.
• -w password Specifies the password for the supplied user ID.
