This is me again with the same issue again,or simmilar to ( [CCG in new VA not present - #19 by JackSparrow](https://developer.sailpoint.com/discuss/t/ccg-in-new-va-not-present/184836/19) ).

I’m trying to set up my partner VA and it connect to ISC and just sits there.

when pairing I get

7:56PM ERR certs/2024/internal: Certificate expired 2026-01-04 16:26:04 +0000 UTC  
7:56PM ERR certs/2024/prod: Certificate expired 2026-01-04 16:26:26 +0000 UTC  
7:56PM ERR certs/2024/dev: Certificate expired 2026-01-03 21:52:12 +0000 UTC

That could be an issue.

I downloaded the VA from the page where you create ne one in the tenant.

Looks like all the dockers on my VA shutdown but it’s not restarting:

sailpoint@localhost ~/log $ sudo docker ps  
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES  
sailpoint@localhost ~/log $

and in tenant

Anyone having same issue recently?

try running this script on the va box to see if it can connect to the outside world to the specific required destinations.

I believe the newest VA downloads the containers after the pairing. If you are missing containers or they don’t start, I have seen this because it can’t talk to the AWS ECR site(s).

````auto
#!/bin/bash

echo "Starting SailPoint VA connectivity test..."
echo "----------------------------------------------"

    if curl -v -I "https://{$HOST}" --connect-timeout 5 &> /dev/null; then
        echo "✅ SUCCESS"
    else
        echo "❌ FAILURE"
        echo " (Tip: Run 'curl -v https://{$HOST}' for detailed error info)"

Hi @aleksander_jachowicz,

the best way to debug is using the script what @ts_fpatterson has mentioned. But what i have seen is with partner tenant if you are trying to configure in your company laptop there are always restrictions when the VA will not be able to communicate to the outside world which it needs to be done for connectivity purpose. Try configuring VA from your Local Laptop and see if it is able to connect. You might need to reach out to you network team for firwall related issue
