Run the prepare-external-server tool to prepare the two new
servers. On the first attempted bind to the server, the tool will report a
"failed to bind" message as it cannot bind to the cn=Proxy

cn=Proxy User entry so that the Directory Proxy Server can access it and tests the communication
settings to the server.
