Testing EIM identity mappings

 

You need to verify that EIM mapping lookup operations return the correct results based on the configured associations.

To test that EIM mapping operations work correctly, follow these steps:

  1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand System A > Network > Enterprise Identity Mapping > Domain Management > MyCoEimDomain

    You may be prompted to connect to the domain controller. In that case, the Connect to EIM Domain Controller dialog is displayed. You must connect to the domain before you can perform actions in it. To connect to the domain controller, provide the following information and click OK:

    • User type: Distinguished name

    • Distinguished name: cn=administrator

    • Password: mycopwd

      Any and all passwords specified in this scenario are for example purposes only. To prevent a compromise to your system or network security, you should never use these passwords as part of your own configuration.

  2. Right-click MyCoEimDomain and select Test a mapping....

  3. In the Test a mapping dialog, specify or Browse... to select the following information:

    Click Help, if necessary, for more details about what information is needed for each field in the dialog. Click Test, and click Close.

If your EIM mappings are correctly configured, the following results are displayed in the Mapping found portion of the page:

For these fields See these results
Target user JOHND
Origin EIM Identifier: John Day

If you receive messages or errors that indicate problems with your mappings or with communications, see EIM troubleshooting to help you find solutions to these problems.

Now that you have tested the EIM identify mappings, you can configure iSeries Access for Windows® applications to use Kerberos authentication.
