Initial Setup of Command Test Drive
When you have access to the Test Drive Management Portal, the next step is to access your Command Test Drive and set it up for the first time.
This initial setup is required to ensure a smooth experience. It guides you through accessing the Test Drive, configuring your browser to trust the Test Drive certificates, preparing the Command Universal Orchestrators, and setting up access to the EJBCA CA.
Access the Test Drive
When a new Test Drive is started, it will take a few minutes for it to become active. Before that, the button to access the Test Drive is greyed out. When the button says Open Test Drive, it is ready for you to access.
To access your Test Drive:
In the Management Portal, click the link to Open Test Drive.
The first time you access the Test Drive, you will get a warning due to the self-signed certificate: Your connection is not private.
To continue, click Advanced and then Proceed to … (unsafe).
While the Test Drive is deploying, you will see a temporary Landing page.
Once completed, after about 15-20 minutes, the Test Drive Landing Page will appear.
The Keyfactor Command Test Drive landing page provides initial setup guidance and direct links to the Test Drive applications, allowing you to begin exploring key workflows and use cases.
Set up your Browser to Trust the Test Drive
To make your browser trust the Test Drive’s self-signed CA (and avoid getting warnings about your connection not being private), download the Test Drive CA certificate and add it to your browser:
Access the EJBCA Registration Authority Web by clicking the link on the Landing page. Accept the certificate warning in your browser.
Go to the CA Certificates and CRLs tab. Find ManagementCA in the list. In the Certificate column, click PEM to download the .pem file
Add the certificate to your browser’s certificate store.
For details on how to download and add the certificate to your browser, see Add the Command Test Drive Certificate to your browser.
Install and Configure Universal Orchestrator
The Test Drive landing page includes a downloadable installation script to help you install the Universal Orchestrator on Windows or Linux.
For details, see Command Use Cases – Configure Keyfactor Universal Orchestrator.
Activate EJBCA Access
To effectively explore the Command use cases and configurations, you need to set up access to EJBCA.
Select the authentication option you prefer, or try both:
Use OAuth (Open Authorization) with Keycloak: Access EJBCA via OAuth in the Command Test Drive
Certificate-based access with superadmin credentials – See Access EJBCA with the Superadmin Certificate for Command Test Drive
Access Applications
To access the Test Drive applications:
On the Test Drive Landing Page, click the link to the application you wish to open.
If you did not set up your browser to trust the Test Drive, you will get one or more warnings due to the self-signed certificate: Your connection is not private.
To continue, click Advanced and then Proceed to … (unsafe).When prompted for credentials, enter the Test Drive username and password.
