결과

The instance changes the operational status of LDAP servers depending on the result of the connection test.

• If your instance establishes a connection to a server that has a Operational Status value of down, the Operational Status value is automatically changed to up. This functionality is supported for both automatic and manual connection tests.
• If a connection cannot be established to a server that has a Operational Status value of up, the Operational Status value is automatically changed to down. This functionality is supported for automatic connection tests only, not manual tests.
