Testing the Connection (BUI)

Use the following procedure to test the replication connection.

From the Configuration menu, select Services, then Remote Replication, then Targets.
Hover the cursor over the name of the target with the connection that you want to check, and click the edit icon .
In the Edit Replication Target dialog box, click the Test Connection button.

A dialog box shows whether the certificate is trusted.
Verify the certificate.

If the certificate is not trusted by the source (for example, if the source has destroyed the certificate), the dialog box presents the certificate for you to review, and you are prompted to accept or reject the certificate.

To verify the certificate, compare the fingerprint of the displayed certificate with the fingerprint of the certificate on the target.
1. Target appliance: From the Configuration menu, select Settings, then Certificates, and click the System tab.
2. Click the information icon on the system default certificate.
  - If the system default certificate is automatically generated, click the information icon on the certificate that is based on the ASN UUID.
  - If the system uses a certificate that is signed by a certificate authority, click the information icon on that certificate.
3. Compare the certificates.
  Compare the certificate that is presented in the dialog box on the source appliance with the certificate that is shown in the information dialog box on the target appliance.
  - If the fingerprints match, accept the certificate.
    If the fingerprints match, the presented certificate is the target’s certificate and can be trusted. Accept the certificate. The certificate is added to the trust list of the source.
  - If the fingerprints do not match, reject the certificate as not trusted.
    The certificate is not added to the trust list of the source.
