GSS- HTTPS-HEAD Keepalive fails

asepiacci · ‎08-05-2013

I configured a HTTPS-HEAD Keepalive in a GSS that fails even if the server responds correctly. The problem could be that the server responds with a not trusted certificate. Does anyone know what the GSS's behaviour is in this particulal case?

Thanks.

Hello Alessandro-

That is an interesting question. The GSS does not check the certificate chain or domain, thus, to directly answer your question, no, it doesn't care about trust. I have never tested if the clock is checked against the date range on the certificate, but I would imagine it doesn't check that either.

At this point, if you had a linux box, issue a wget or curl request against the server and see what it sends back for the the page your GSS is probing (GSS only accepts a 200ok.)
