Default Parameters for 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.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for CtxFASMSCertTest.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
