Issue
After configuring Health Check on RSA Certificate Manager (as described in the RSA Certificate Manager 6.9 Administrator's Guide, pages 339-344), health can be checked by going to the following URL and manually filling out the Health Check CA's MD5:

https://rcm-hostname/health-check.xuda

However, a simple URL is needed for load balancer (to do an HTTP GET) that does not require manual interaction.
Tasks
Make a note of Health Check CA's MD5, e.g., 1ab9a943060afea2cb7df4fe52454923, then use the following URL (make sure to update RCM hostname and CA MD5) that should provide health status without the need to manually fill out CA MD5:
  
https://rcm-hostname/health-check.xuda?camd5=1ab9a943060afea2cb7df4fe52454923&actiontype=Check%20Health

Note:  The Health Check CA must not require PIN or passphrase for the above URL to work seemlessly; otherwise the health check page will prompt for the PIN/passphrase to carry out signing operation.
