Question:

• How can I check connectivity to the Virtual IP?

Procedure:

When setting up LDAP authentication on the filter, you may run into problems with users getting connection failures to the virtual IP.  If the 8e6 Authenticator (authenticat.exe) is being used, these connection failures will be logged in the Windows event log.  The simplest way to see if a workstation has connectivity to the virtual IP is to run the following command from a command prompt:

telnet (virtual IP) 139

If a connection is made, then connectivity to the virtual IP is fine, and any authentication problems will lie outside of connectivity problems.
