Testing Network Connectivity

The availability of the system can be monitored at various layers. At the lowest layer, the system responds to ICMP pings.

Positive Testing

The availability and responsiveness of the web server within the system may be monitored using the following URLs:

  • https://HOSTNAME/enroll/ping

    This tests the enrollment portal portion of the system, and should return a 200 status.

  • http://HOSTNAME/ocsp/ping OR https://HOSTNAME/admin/ocsp/ping

    This tests the admin, API, and OCSP portions of the system and should return a 200 status.

Note: The path is different for HTTPS and HTTP.

Negative Testing

The following URL may be used for negative testing:

  • https://HOSTNAME/ocsp/pingFail

    This should return a 404 error.
