1.3. Testing an LDAP Provider

Using cURL, you can test your LDAP configuration as follows:

  1. Open the command line on an external client, note that curl is not a built in command line utility in Windows.

  2. Enter the following command to list the contents of the directory tmp/test:

    curl -i -k -u ldap_user:password -X GET \    
    'https://gateway_host:8443/gateway_path/cluster_name/namenode/api/v1/tmp/test?op=LISTSTATUS'

    If the directory exists, a content list displays; if the user cannot be authenticated, the request is rejected with an HTTP status of 401 unauthorized.
