10.2.7 Task 7: (Configuring for the external mode only) Test the NNMi user group configuration

1. Save the ldap.properties file.

2. Force NNMi to re-read the ldap.properties file by executing the following command:

   nnmldap.ovpl -reload

3. Sign in to the NNMi console with a user name and password that are defined in the directory service.

   Run this test with a user name that is not already defined in the NNMi database and is a member of a directory service group that is mapped to the admin, level1, or level2 NNMi user group.

4. Verify the user name and NNMi role (as configured in the Display Name field in the User Groups view) in the title bar of the NNMi console.

   • If user sign-in works correctly, go to step 8.

   • If user sign-in does not work correctly, continue on to step 5.

   After each test, sign out of the NNMi console to clear the session credentials.

5. Test the configuration for one user by running the following command:

   nnmldap.ovpl -diagnose NNMi-user

   Replace NNMi-user with the sign-in name of an NNMi user as defined in the directory service.

   Examine the command output and respond appropriately. The following are suggestions:

   • Verify that you completed correctly 10.2.5 Task 5: (Configuring for the external mode only) Configure group retrieval from the directory service.

   • Verify for each predefined NNMi user group that you completed correctly 10.2.6 Task 6: (Configuring for the external mode only) Map the directory service groups to NNMi user groups.

   • Follow the detailed configuration process in 10.4.5 User group identification.

6. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until you see the expected result when signing in to the NNMi console.
