Verifying the Configuration

Use the OSS file system to verify that the installation was successful. You should see the

following directory structure at the installation directory. The default directory is

/usr/tandem/webserver:

The Ninety-Day Test Certificate

The installation script generates a self-signed test certificate, valid for 90 days and

protected by a password that you choose. The certificate is stored in the file

/usr/tandem/webserver/conf/test_key.db. This certificate provides low assurance and is

intended only for bootstrapping and initial testing of your secure transports. Replace the

test certificate with a valid commercial-grade certificate from a reputable Certificate

Authority (CA) as soon as possible.

The DN of a test certificate generated by the install script has the following components:

CN=Secure Transport Bootstrap Certificate

OU=Testing Only - Do not trust for Secure Transactions

OU=No Assurance - Self-Signed

OU=Generated date time PDT year

O=comm.company.com

/bin

Contains all binary files related to the iTP Secure WebServer.

/root

This is the root that appears when you use the default

configuration. A sample home page (index.sample.html) exists

here.

/logs

WebServer log files are configured to be placed in this directory.

/admin

Administration Server and related files.

/conf

Contains configuration files and start/stop scripts.

/samples

/Antarctic contains the Home Banking Demo.

/Cobol_Demo contains a sample COBOL Pathway CGI program.

/C_Demo contains a sample C Pathway CGI program.

/gif contains graphic images that are referenced by

within this directory.
