ADSS OCSP Monitor
Ensuring correctness & availability of your OCSP service
Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) Validation Authority servers are the cornerstone of a trusted PKI infrastructure, providing essential e-ID validation services. It is crucial that they are correctly configured, remain highly available to relying parties and are not subject to internal or external attacks. OCSP Service providers typically have to adhere to strictly defined availability and responsiveness criteria. OCSP Monitor has been designed to perform these management audit and reporting tasks in an automated manner and alert administrators to any issues that arise using email or SMS messages.
OCSP Monitor is a must have product for any organisation providing OCSP services. It enables you to identify issues and fix unexpected conditions before your business customers or end-users report them to you! In fact OCSP Monitor is also a useful tool for organisations that consume OCSP services under an SLA. It enables then to measure the key performance indicators attained by their service providers.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Automated OCSP monitoring
OCSP Monitor is an automatic audit management system that warns administrator about any OCSP service failures or irregularities.
Client based testing
OCSP Monitor actually tests the status of an OCSP server by making real OCSP calls. This is the only real way to measure server performance rather than by deducing the status of the service from generated system events.
Easy configuration
OCSP Monitor has an intuitive interface to help set-up test scenarios and the required test cases within these. Each test scenario can be set to run between specific start and stop times. Reports can be customised per test scenario.
