The security ldap verify command verifies an LDAP configuration for an Atlas project. You can also verify an LDAP configuration for an Atlas project using the Atlas API.

If the security ldap verify command returns Pending status, you can run the mongocli atlas security ldap verify status watch command to watch for the LDAP configuration to complete.
