ADSS Server Essential Guide to System Recovery

This is a vital guide for anyone managing one or more production ADSS Server instances. The document describes potential failure scenarios associated with ADSS Server production servers and provides guidance on how these can be analysed and resolved.

This document assumes that you have a production environment with one or more ADSS Servers that were previously operating perfectly and suddenly a system failure has occurred. This guide provides a comprehensive set of checks that can be made to identify the failure issue(s) and get ADSS Server running once more.  It is not intended to be used as configuration guide or general diagnostic help guide or checking test/development servers where configuration changes may have caused the issue, although it may be helpful in this regard.

Resolving production server failures is often difficult with feature-rich applications such as ADSS Server, especially when multiple third party components are involved. This guide provides guidance and tips for issue identification and resolution in clear, logical steps. 

From experience, most ‘sudden’ issues with a stable production system are caused by problems within the external systems, applications, or services that ADSS Server relies upon. These tend to manifest themselves as a problem within ADSS Server, but a quick examination of the relevant service logs will reveal whether an external issue is affecting ADSS Server’s ability to give an accurate and reliable answer. For example, firewall changes can easily affect the ability to access external CRL, OCSP, TSA, HSM or database services.  Database and HSM issues will immediately prevent ADSS Server availability.
