Warning seen when running a Test System on an LDAP managed system: Please check the description of this account to ensure the DN is properly set."

When running a test system on a managed LDAP / LDAPs or Novell system, a warning similar to this is returned:

[05/01/2016 12:01:24] Gathering the information necessary to perform a check of test_system...
[05/01/2016 12:01:24] Checking the ldap System test_system..
[05/01/2016 12:01:28] Please check the description of this account to ensure the DN is properly set.
[05/01/2016 12:01:28] The test of system [test_system] failed!

As per the wording of the warning, ensure the DN (distinguished name) is set correctly, and that the DN set in the correct place.   For TPAM 2.5.915 and above, there is a field specifically for Distinguished Name.  For TPAM 2.5.914 and below, the DN (for Systems that require the DN to be set) must be configured on the account (including Functional Account) Description field.

For TPAM 2.5 prior to 2.5.915; the DN must be set in the Description field for the Functional Account (not the System Description field).

TPAM versions 2.5.915 and above added a "Distinguished Name" field; see BFER 2006 from the 2.5.915 Release Notes:

Added Distinguished Name box on the Account Details Information tab for LDAP, LDAPS, and Novell® accounts. Also added this as an option for batch processing on import/update systems and CLI/API commands. This replaces having to put the distinguished name in the Account Description box. LDAP, LDAPS and Novell functional accounts created prior to applying the 2.5.915 patch that have the distinguished name in the Description box will have it migrated to the Distinguished Name box automatically when the 2.5.915 patch is applied. Managed accounts other than functional accounts with the distinguished name in the Description box will have it migrated to the Distinguished Name box automatically when the 2.5.915 patch is applied.
