Chapter 9. Verifying system certificates by using IdM Healthcheck

Procedure

• To run the system certificates test, enter:

  # ipa-healthcheck --source=ipahealthcheck.dogtag.ca

  Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  The --source=ipahealthcheck.dogtag.ca option ensures that Healthcheck only performs the certificate tests.

  An example of a successful test:

  {
    "source: ipahealthcheck.dogtag.ca",
    "check: DogtagCertsConfigCheck",
    "result: SUCCESS",
    "uuid: 9b366200-9ec8-4bd9-bb5e-9a280c803a9c",
    "when: 20191008135826Z",
    "duration: 0.252280",
    "kw:" {
      "key": "Server-Cert cert-pki-ca",
      "configfile":  "/var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/conf/ca/CS.cfg"
      }
  }
