Configuration of CtxFASMSCertTest

This test takes stock of all the CAs installed in the CFAS domain. The test then periodically checks whether/not every CA is accessible, and alerts administrators to the inaccessiblity of any CA. This way, if a CA is not publishing templates, then administrators can figure out if it is because there are no templates to publish or because the CA is unreachable. Additionally, for each CA, the test reports whether/not it is the default/primary CA.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. By default, this is set to 5 minutes.

• In the HOST text box, specify the IP address of the host for which this test is to be configured.

• In the PORT text box, specifyt the port at which the specified host listens.

• This test requires domain administrator privileges to run. Therefore, specify the name of domain to which the CFAS belongs against DOMAIN. Enter the credentials of the domain administrator against the USERNAME and PASSWORD text boxes.

• Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise suite embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option against DETAILED DIAGNOSIS. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

  The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability

  • Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
