Checking the status of the Directory Server

 

Use this information to check the status of the Directory Server.

Basic status information is found in the iSeries™ Navigator. More advanced and complete status information is found using the Web administration tool.

iSeries Navigator displays the status of the Directory Server in the Status column in the right frame.

To check the status of the Directory Server in iSeries Navigator, take these steps:

  1. Expand Network.

  2. Expand Servers.

  3. Click TCP/IP. iSeries Navigator displays the status of all TCP/IP servers, including the directory server, in the Status column. To update the status of the servers, click the View menu and select Refresh.

  4. To view more information about the status of the directory server, right-click IBM Directory Server and select Status. This will show you the number of active connections, as well as other information such as past and current activity levels.

    Besides providing additional information, viewing status through this option can save time. You can refresh the status of the Directory Server without taking the additional time that is required to check the status of the other TCP/IP servers.

To view the status of the directory server using the Web administration tool, take these steps:

  1. Expand the Server administration category in the navigation area.

    To change server configuration settings using the tasks in the Server administration category of the Web Administration tool, authenticate to the server as an i5/OS® user profile that has *ALLOBJ and IOSYSCFG special authorities. This can be done by authenticating as a projected user with the password for that profile. To bind as a projected user from the Web administration tool, enter a username of the form os400-profile=MYUSERNAME,cn=accounts,os400-sys=MYSYSTEM.COM, where MYUSERNAME and the MYSYSTEM.COM strings are replaced with your user profile name and the configured system projection suffix, respectively.

  2. Click View server status.

  3. On the View server status panel, select the various tabs to view status information.
