This test is used to provide the information about the list of certificates loaded on the Apache server. This test will be executed only in SSL enabled apache servers.

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

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. 

• Indicate the duration (in minutes) in the TIMEOUT textbox for which this test should wait for a response from the storage device. By default, this is set to 5 minutes.

• In the TARGETS box, provide a comma-separated list of {HostIP/Name}:{Port) pairs, which represent the web sites to be monitored. For example, 192.168.10.7:443,192.168.10.8:443. The test connects to each IP/port pair and checks for validity of the certificate associated with this target. One set of metrics is reported for each target. The descriptor represents the common name (CN) value of the SSL certificate.

• Provide a list of comma separated file paths for the SSL Certificates that are to be monitored in the TARGETFILES text box. For example, C:/server.crt, D:/admin.crt. The test reads the SSL Certificates for the web sites that are to be monitored from this location and checks for the validity.

• In general, SSL Certificates are bound together in a file and each certificate will be identified by a unique key. In the KEYSTORE FILE text box, provide the location of this file so that each key assigned to individual certificates will be auto accessed during monitoring and the relevant certificate will be picked out for monitoring. For example, the location of this file may be: C:/egurkha/manager/tomcat/webapps/eGmanager.bin

• In the KEYSTORE PASSWORD text box, provide the password that is used to obtain the associated certificate details from the keystore file.

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

• Once the above value is provided, click on the Update button to register the changes made.
