Configuration of CASCertUtilTest

This test continuously monitors whether/not the user interface of the RPC server and admin interface of the RPC server is available. This test also reports the time taken by the RPC server to respond to user requests. Using this test, administrators can figure out abnormal time delay experienced by the RPC server while responding to requests.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to choose how often should the test be executed.

• In the HOST text box, specify the IP address of the Microsoft Certificate Authority Server that is being monitored.

• In the PORT text box, specify the port at which the specified host listens. By default, this is 443.

• 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 above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz*” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
