4 Testing and Troubleshooting

You can use the testing utility to identify the cause of problems associated with connecting to the target system and performing basic operations on the target system.

Before you use the testing utility, copy the files in the test directory on the installation media to the OIM_HOME/xellerate/XLIntegrations/Telnet directory.

Set the required values in the config.properties file. This file is in the OIM_HOME/xellerate/XLIntegrations/Telnet/config/config.properties directory. Use the information in the following table to modify the default attributes of the config.properties file.

Attribute	Description	Default Attribute (Sample Value)
hostname	IP address of the target server on which user provisioning is to be performed	10.1.1.114
shellPrompt	Default shell prompt of the UNIX server: # for Solaris, Linux, and HP-UX $ for AIX	#
Port	Port at which the Telnet server is listening	23
Os Type	Operating system type of the UNIX server Accepted values are SOLARIS, LINUX, HP-UX, and AIX.	SOLARIS
adminpassword	Admin user password	password1
Admin	UNIX server administrator credentials for the Telnet server	root
Action	Action to be tested The value can be any of the following: CONNECT CREATE CHANGEPASSWORD MODIFY DELETE DISABLE ENABLE ENABLETRUSTED (only for HP-UX trusted mode)	CREATE
UserName	User attribute	jdoe
Max Retries	Number of times that the UNIX Telnet connector should retry connecting to the target server if the connection fails	2
Delay	Delay (in milliseconds) before the connector attempts to retry connecting to the target system, in case the connection fails	2000
Timeout	Value of the timeout (in milliseconds) for the connection to the target server	10000
passwdMirrorFilePath	This parameter is used to specify the passwd mirror file path for reconciliation.	/etc/passwd1
shadowMirrorFilePath	This parameter is used to specify the shadow mirror file path for reconciliation.	/etc/shadow1
targetDateFormat	This parameter is used to specify the date format of the target UNIX computer.	MMddhhmmyy

After you specify values in the config.properties file, run the following script:

For UNIX:

OIM_HOME/xellerate/XLIntegrations/Telnet/scripts/telnet.sh

For Microsoft Windows:

OIM_HOME\xellerate\XLIntegrations\Telnet\scripts\Telnet.bat
