Testing the Installation
To quickly test the server installation, you will use Server Manager to
add a loopback connection to a AAA server, start the server, and then
check its status for a response. Use the following steps to test the server
installation:
Step 1. Follow the directions for “Running Server Manager” to start Server
Manager after installing the HP-UX AAA Server software.
Step 2. Select the Server Connections link from the Navigation Tree and then
select the Connect to Server link.
Step 3. Enter the values for your server in the Add Connection screen that
appears and select Create:
Name The identifying string of a remote server.
Domain Name or IP Address
The IP address (in dotted-quad notation) or valid
Domain Name System (DNS) host name of the AAA
server that the connection maps to.
Step 4. Verify the server is listed and selected in the Server Status frame.
Step 5. Select the Administration link from the Navigation Tree.
Step 6. Select the Start option.
Step 7. Verify the server started. A green “GO” icon in the Server Status frame
indicates the server is running.
Step 8. Verify the server is selected in the Server Status frame and then select
the Status option.
Step 9. Check Server Manager’s Message Frame for the status reply. The
following reply at the bottom of the Message Frame indicates the server
is running correctly:
“<server name> (port#)” is responding
If you did not receive this message, refer to the Troubleshooting chapter
in HP-UX AAA Server Administration and Authentication Guide. You
