Test an LDAP Provider

Using cURL, you can test your LDAP configuration.

1. Open the command line on an external client.

   	Note
   	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/webhdfs/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.
