Troubleshooting


Problem

MustGather (Collecting Data) documents aid in problem determination and save time resolving Problem Management Records (PMRs). This document helps you collect data for IBM Security Directory Server (formerly IBM Tivoli Directory Server) problems related to configuring the LDAP server.

Resolving The Problem


MustGather Configuration information based on IBM Security Directory Server version:

For all versions of Directory Server the basic items we need to begin diagnosing any Configuration issues are as follows:

1. A clear problem description.
2. Is it a reproducible problem ?
