The Direct Certificate Discovery Tool (DCDT) Development Team, on behalf of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), and the Direct Project community at large, are pleased to announce the release of DCDT version 3.0.

The overarching themes of the version 3.0 release were ease of installation and setup, and more detailed feedback to the user. Significant enhancements and improvements were made to:


  • Remove the dependency on the Direct Java RI: DCDT is now a stand-alone application with no dependency on the RI whatsoever.
  • Simplify the setup of DCDT: the two fields (domain name and IP address) in the administration console are all that is needed to completely and automatically configure the tool and its certificates.
  • Provide detailed feedback to the user at each step of every test case: detailed success and error messages provide specific, useful information to the end user in a timely manner.

The release has been deployed on a demonstration instance at SITE.

Development of this release and any future issues can be viewed at our JIRA issue tracker, which is open to the public.

As always, we invite the community to participate in our Google Group with any questions or issues.
