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 these 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
Test-Starting the Administration Server and
the iTP Secure WebServer
Use this procedure to verify your configuration:
1. Start the Administration Server by executing the start script:
: cd /usr/tandem/webserver/admin/conf
: ./start
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.
