Testing the Connection to the LDAP Server

You can use Dynamo’s LDAP server connection tool to test whether the JNDI environment properties in the InitialContextEnvironment component are configured appropriately for your server.

To test the connection to the LDAP server, do the following:

  1. From the command line, switch to the following directory:

    <ATG2007.3dir>/DAS/LDAP/lib

  2. Issue the following command:

    For Active Directory:
    java -classpath ./ldap.jar LDAPConnection MicrosoftActiveDirectory

    For Sun ONE Directory Server:
    java -classpath ./ldap.jar LDAPConnection iPlanetDirectory

If Dynamo connects successfully to your LDAP server, it displays the message “Successfully Created Context: javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext<context_number>.”

Troubleshooting the Connection to the Server

If Dynamo does not connect to your LDAP server, it displays one of the following error messages:
