PowerEdge M1000e Okta LDAP Integration

Question

I'm having trouble integrating a Dell PowerEdge M1000e with Okta's LDAP integration. The CMC firmware is up to date (6.10) and system time is configured properly. I'm also having similar issues attempting to configure LDAP authentication for the individual iDRAC's in the system. Does anyone have any more detailed info than what dell provides online? There is a test function when configuring iDRAC, and it appears to fail at the step when it tries to ping the okta LDAP server. I have confirmed with Okta that their LDAP servers do not respond to ping requests, and this cannot be changed.

This article indicates the Dell iDRAC requires a ping response: https://docs.foxpass.com/docs/dell-idrac-ldap-setup

Does anyone know if this is still the case? Is it possible to disable the ping requirement on the Dell side, so it will at least attempt the LDAP authentication?

Just an update...I've validated the LDAP settings manually via ldapsearch. I'm able to login using the bind DN, and also search for membership to groups. However, when I try to login to CMC using valid Okta creds, the UI returns 'Credentials Failed, Please Try Again.' At the same time, the CMC logs report ' Domain user authentication was not successful. Reason code = 8216'
