The iProcess Engine tests the connection and displays whether the connection attempt succeeded or failed. For example:

Testing connection...
Connect successful.

If the attempt fails, information about the possible cause of the failure is shown. For example, the following error indicates a problem with the DN entry used to authenticate the connection. You should check the validity of the supplied name (and password).

Testing connection...
