Traffic monitoring

[network_4]

Hi, I have one portal server which communicate to ldap and radius server for giving required information. Now a days i am facing issue that while authenticating user in web portal for access account information not getting i mean it seems that request is not going to ldap server for authentication. So can any one suggest me some way so that i can check whether request is coming or not in ldap server or is this issye with portal server.

Hi,

Firstly try pinging. if it doesn't then your network services need to be configured.

secondly try to see if the portal server is able to reach ldap server by tracerout.

if both are successful your network is ok.
there might be problem with the appl.

Shalom,

tcpdump can show the traffic.

tcpdump -i lan0 port ###

replace port number with the ldap port number.

hi sorry but in HP-UX 11 tcpdump is not there, so any other alternative

tcpdump is available on HP-UX through
a s/w package called internet express. Download
from :

http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPUXIEXP1111

Another option would be IPFilter system
firewall on HP-UX (can be downloaded for free
at software.hp.com site). You could install
IPFilter and configure the filter rules to log all
or specific type of traffic.

you should be able to use nettl (/usr/sbin/nettl) for all your needs.
