You must supply your Kerberos user
name and password when generating tests that use Kerberos.
About this task
The test generation process attempts to detect if Kerberos was used
when a test was recorded. If the test generation process detects that Kerberos
was used when a test was recorded, you are prompted for the Kerberos credentials.
The test generation process might not differentiate between Kerberos authentication
and NT LAN Manager (NTLM) authenticaion. In that case, you are prompted for
the authentication type and credentials.
Procedure
- In the Kerberos window, type in the Kerberos
Realm name field the Kerberos realm name that you used during
recording. If the test generation process cannot determine which
type of authentication was used, the Authorization window
is displayed, not the Kerberos window. In that case, click the Kerberos radio
button before typing the Kerberos realm name.
- In the User name field, type the user name
that you used during recording.
- In the Password field, type the password
that you used during recording.
Results
The test generation process creates a Kerberos configuration file.
The file is
krb5.ini and it is stored in the root of
the project workspace. This file is required to play back Kerberos tests.
Typically, you need to ensure that the workbench computer that you use to
record the test is in the same Kerberos realm as the agent computers that
you use to play back the test. Advanced users and security administrators
can edit this file with a text editor to tailor it to a specific test environment.
