Verifying the Configuration
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 Contains the following sample server programs:
/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
index.sample.html.
/scripts contains samples of standard NCSA CGI programs.
/SSL-sample-dir requires SSL security to access the file index.html
within this directory.
Note. Commercial use of the ninety-day test certificates is forbidden.
Note. Certain versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer do not accept self-signed test certificates.
