6.5 Verifying the Installation

After the installation is done, you can verify the installation by using the following procedure:

  1. Use iManager to check for the presence of the following objects in the eDirectory tree:

    • dhcpLocator: This object is in the Locator context specified during installation.

    • DHCPGroup: This object is in the Group context specified during installation.

  2. Use Java Console to check for the presence of the following object:

    DHCP_<hostname>: This object is in the DHCP server context specified during installation.

    The schema is extended only during the first installation. For subsequent installs, you only need to verify DHCP Server object creation.

  3. Check the following parameters in the /etc/dhcpd.conf file:

    ldap-server
ldap-port 
ldap-ssl
ldap-base-dn
ldap-method 
ldap-debug-file 
ldap-dhcp-server-cn 
ldap-referrals

    The dhcpd.conf file cannot be modified using Java Console. After you install and configure DHCP for the first time, if you want to modify any parameters of the dhcpd.conf file, you must manually update the dhcpd.conf file to make the change.

  4. (Conditional) If you selected Use Secure Channel for DHCP Server option and Request Certificate as Never, check the ldap_tls_reqcert parameter included in the dhcpd.conf file.

  5. (Conditional) If you selected Use Secure Channel for DHCP Server option and Request Certificate as Try/Allow/Hard, check the following parameters and the availability of the following certificate files:

    ldap-tls-reqcert
ldap--tls-ca-file
ldap-tls-cert
ldap-tls-key
