Running a Validation Manually

You can manually validate installed certificates using the Validate Now feature.
Tip: In addition to standard validation checks, Validate Now can also discover additional TLS server endpoints associated with certificates already in your inventory.

To Run a Validation Manually

  1. Sign in to Next-Gen Trust Security.
  2. Click Insights > TLS Server Endpoints.
  3. On the TLS Server Endpoints page, do one of the following:
    • To search for a specific certificate, enter certificate details in the search bar.
    • To use a saved filter, open the Filters list and select the filter.
    • To manually filter the list, click Filter next to the search bar, specify the attributes to include, and click Apply.
  4. In the Certificate Name column, click the certificate you want to validate.
  5. In the certificate details view, click the TLS SERVER ENDPOINTS tab.
  6. Click Validate Now.
A Validation in progress message appears at the top of the page. When validation completes:
  • TLS Validation and Chain Validation display Success, or
  • A Validation Failed message appears.
Tip: You can confirm when validation last ran by checking the Last Seen column. After running Validate Now, this value updates to a minute ago. If you do not see a status change, refresh the page.
