Test Connectivity dialog box

The Test Connectivity dialog box enables you to test the connection to the system associated with a credential. The test connectivity operation triggers the search path and first looks for an exact match, then for a pattern match, and finally for LDAP service authentication.

Test Connectivity parameters

The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is used to check if the system is running before testing for connectivity.

Type: Enables you to select the type of credential from the drop-down list.
Name/IP: Enables you to specify the host name or IP address for the credential.

Command buttons

Test: Opens a connection attempt to the host name or IP address.
Close: Cancels changes, if any, and closes the dialog box.
