Configure the NIS domain and sample NIS server:

NIS Domain Name – Enter the case-sensitive name of the NIS domain to scan. This is the value returned by /bin/domainname on UNIX systems.
(Optional) Sample NIS Server – Enter the host name or IP address of a NIS server for the above domain to use for testing. This system should be running the ypserv process and be accessible from the Access Analyzer Console. Then, click Test.
Test – The data collector attempts to connect to the specified server and access information from the specified domain. It returns a message indicating success or failure.
