Test Endpoints

This tool will try to contact all Virtru Required Endpoints.

Execution

# Navigate to the test directory
cd /var/virtru/vg/test
# Execute the script
sh checkendpoints.sh

Results

All endpoints will provide a number representing the response code.  The response codes should be similar to the diagram.

If a 000 is returned, the requested site is inaccessible.  If any site is inaccessible, the Virtru Gateway may not function as expected.

Send Email

This will send a test message to the desired recipient through the desired port and host. 

Execution

# Navigate to the test directory
cd /var/virtru/vg/test
# Execute the script
sh sendtestmessage.sh

Results

An SMTP message will be generated and sent to the desired SMTP server on the desired Port.  The Gateway will either Encrypt or Decrypt the generated message.

Run Command

The Command will be executed against all running containers on the host.  Example commands are: 

Execution

• mailq
  • This command will report all messages in the mail queue.
• postsuper -d ALL
  • This command will remove (without NDR) all messages from the mail queue.

# Navigate to the test directory
cd /var/virtru/vg/test
# Execute the script
sh runall.sh COMMAND

Results

Verify that Email is tracked at Virtru Control Center

Every encrypted Email sent via Gateway can be searched and tracked via Virtru Control Center. Log in to the Control Center and click on [All] Emails link on the left navigation. The entire message is not available, only:

• Recipient
• Sender
• Subject
• Attachment Names
• Read History
• Forward History
• Revoke Status
• Expire Status

Tail the logs

Depending on your logging configuration, view the Gateway logs. Ensure there are no errors logged.
