Expired SSL Certificate not trapped by Real Browser Monitor

Products

• CA App Synthetic Monitor

Issue/Introduction

SSL certificate problems are not being trapped by Real Browser Monitors (RBM/Badboy monitors) and there appears to be no option to force such a check.

Environment

Release:
Component: ODCM

Resolution

Real Browser Monitors do not check certificates. To do so requires creation of an https monitor with option "Verify certificate" enabled.
