GetStatus Service

Overview

This service can be used to check the status of a PKI subsystem.

Request

• Operation: GET /<subsystem>/admin/<subsystem>/getStatus

• Authentication: None

The <subsystem> is the subsystem type in lower case (e.g. ca, kra).

Response

• State: 0 means the server is being installed, 1 means the server is ready.

• Type: The subsystem type (e.g. CA, KRA).

• Status: starting or running.

• Version: PKI package version (e.g. 10.10.5-5.fc33).

• ProductVersion: Product name and version (which may not necessarily be the same as PKI package version). If the server theme package (e.g. dogtag-pki-server-theme) is not installed, the product name and version will not be returned.

JSON Response

Starting from PKI 11 this service returns a response in JSON format, for example:

$ curl -s http://localhost.localdomain:8080/ca/admin/ca/getStatus | python -m json.tool

    }
}
