10.1. Running Self-Tests

The Certificate System has the added functionality to allow self-tests of the server. The self-tests are run at start up and can also be run on demand. The startup self-tests run when the server starts and keep the server from starting if a critical self-test fails. The on-demand self-tests are run by clicking the self-tests button in the subsystem console.

10.1.1. Running Self-Tests

The on-demand self-test for the CA, OCSP, KRA, or TKS subsystems are run from the console. The on-demand self-tests for the TPS system are run from the web services page.

  1. Log into the Console.

  3. Select the Self Tests tab.
  4. Click Run.
    The self-tests that are configured for the subsystem will run. If any critical self-tests fail, the server will stop.
  5. The On-Demand Self Tests Results window appears, showing the logged events for this run of the self-tests.
