# Runbook
## Service Overview
mcat is a web application for testing MCIAS login policies. It runs a TLS
web server that lets users log in via MCIAS with a configurable service
name and tag set.
## Health Check
1. Open `https://<host>:8443/login` in a browser.
2. If the login form renders, the service is healthy.
## Common Operations
### Start
```bash
systemctl start mcat
```
### Stop
```bash
systemctl stop mcat
```
### View Logs
```bash
journalctl -u mcat -f
```
### Run Locally
```bash
make mcat
./mcat server --config srv/mcat.toml
```
## Configuration
Config file: `/srv/mcat/mcat.toml`
After changing config, restart the service:
```bash
systemctl restart mcat
```
## TLS Certificate Renewal
1. Replace `/srv/mcat/certs/cert.pem` and `/srv/mcat/certs/key.pem`.
2. Restart: `systemctl restart mcat`.
## MCIAS Unreachable
If MCIAS is down, logins and token validation will fail. Users will see
generic error messages. Check MCIAS connectivity:
```bash
curl -k https://<mcias-host>:8443/v1/health
```
## Escalation
If the issue is not covered above, check MCIAS logs and status. mcat has
no local state — all authentication is delegated to MCIAS.
