5. Obtain your test HPI-I, HPI-O or CSP NASH PKI certificates
Obtaining HPI-I, HPI-O, or CSP test certificates is a pre-requisite for gaining access to the My Health Record Software Vendor Test (SVT) environment.
NASH PKI test certificates will allow you to develop and test the workflow of your product by facilitating:
- authentication to the test environment for the My Health Record system (healthcare providers utilise NASH PKI organisation certificates to authenticate in the production environment); and
- testing the sending and receiving of secure messages.
The test certificates cannot be used in production or any other online program. Software vendors are bound by the terms and conditions of the licence agreed to when applying for a NASH PKI test kit.
The NASH PKI test kit contains the following certificates:
- an active test NASH PKI organisation certificate for Healthcare Provider Organisations for two test organisations
- a revoked test NASH PKI certificate for Healthcare Provider Organisations for a test organisation, if requested, and
- an active test NASH PKI certificate for Supporting Organisations for a test organisation, if requested.
Test organisation names will vary in different test kits. Any healthcare identifiers embedded in the certificates are test healthcare identifiers only. Test certificates are valid for two years.
NASH Organisation Certificate Tracker
The NASH Organisation Certificate Tracker is a simple tool for listing the expiration dates of NASH PKI certificates for healthcare provider organisations. The software package contains the installer for the tool, a number of complementary software components and the software licence terms and conditions for both the NASH Organisation Certificate Tracker and incorporated third-party software.
