4  If TLS/SSL has been implemented, you can verify that the DNCS HTTP-S server 

certificates are deployed correctly and the BOSS web service is accessible by 
completing the following steps. 
a  Use a web browser to access the following site: 

https://[ip_address_of_DNCS_host]/dncs/soap/bossreq

 

Result: The web browser should prompt you to accept the certificate but 
warn that the certificate was issued by a company that you have not chosen 
to trust, similar to this example: 

 

 

b  Select the necessary confirmation buttons to allow the web connection to 

continue. 

c  Is client authentication enabled on this system? 

–  If yes, the web browser will either return a prompt for a client certificate 

or a connection failure message. 

–  If no, if the computer you are using for the test has an IP address that is 

allowed to access the web service, the browser will return a HTTP GET 
method not implemented error message. 

d  To verify that the billing system HTTP-S server is accessible from the DNCS, 

use Firefox on the DNCS and enter the following address: 

https://[ip_address_of_Billing_System_host]
