Verifying That the LDAP Server Is Loaded

Before configuring LDAP objects, verify that the LDAP server is loaded and functional. This section explains how to verify that the LDAP server is loaded. To verify that the server is running and functional, see Verifying That the LDAP Server Is Running.

On NetWare

To find out whether nldap.nlm is loaded on a NetWare server, enter one of the following at the server console:

• ldap display activity

  If nldap.nlm is not loaded, the server displays Unknown command.

  In NetWare 6.x, the display is written to the logger screen, not to the console screen.

• ldap display config
• modules nldap.nlm

You can also use Novell iManager.

1. Click the Roles and Tasks button .

2. Click eDirectory Maintenance > Service Manager.

3. Select a connection, server, or DNS name or IP address, then click OK.

4. Provide your password, then click OK.

5. Click LDAP Agent for Novell eDirectory 8.7.3.

   The Module Information section displays nldap.nlm in the filename field.

On Windows 2000/NT

1. On a Windows server, open ndscons.exe.

   Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Novell eDirectory Services.

2. On the Services tab, scroll to nldap.dlm, then view the Status column.

   The column displays Running.

You can also use Novell iManager.

1. Click the Roles and Tasks button .

2. Click eDirectory Maintenance > Service Manager.

3. Select a connection, server, or DNS name or IP address, then click OK.

4. Provide your password, then click OK.

   The Module Information section displays nldap.nlm in the filename field.

Loaded on UNIX

Identify libnldap.so or libnldap.sl. This name might only be a symbolic link to a longer filename that has version information appended.

Also, each libnldap.so or libnldap.sl file is a different binary for each UNIX platform.

You can also use the ndsd.log file or ndstrace to check whether the LDAP server is loaded.
