There are available tool in the Internet where you can test LDAP connection in Active Directory.

Download a freeware from this site, LDAP browser tool used to test connections. 

You can also test if the connection works well by using your Internet Explorer.

Type "ldap://" instead of "http://" in the address bar then the address of the machine hosting the directory.
