Default Parameters for ACCertTest

This test captures the expiry date of all active certificates, computes how long each active certificate will remain valid, and proactively alerts administrators if any certificate is nearing expiry.

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

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

• By default, the REPORT ONLY ACTIVE CERTIFICATES flag is set to Yes, indicating that this test reports the validity of active certificates only. To ensure that the test reports the validity of all certificates, set this flag to No.

• To pull out metrics, this test needs to login to the AppController's management console as a user with Administrator rights to AppController. For this purpose, you need to configure this test with the USERNAME and PASSWORD of a user with Administrator rights to the AppController.

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

• Indicate whether/not AppController is SSL-enabled. By default, the SSL flag is set to Yes.

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