We do not recommend running the Agent Controller behind
a firewall. However, if you are required to do so, run SetConfig script
at each location (agent) before recording or running tests.
About this task
To record and run tests in a secure environment:
Procedure
- Enable the security setting on each location (agent) that
will add load to your tests, as well as your workbench computer. To do this, run the SetConfig script (SetConfig.bat for Microsoft® Windows® platforms;
SetConfig.sh for non-Windows platforms) at each location. This script
is located in the bin, in the installation directory. The default
installation directory is C:\Program Files\IBM\SDPShared\AgentController\bin.
- Record the test, or run the schedule or test.
- During recording, you are prompted to provide a user
name and password for your workbench computer.
- During the schedule or test run, you are prompted to
enter a user name and password for each location (agent) that has
security enabled, as well as your workbench computer. You
are not prompted again for user names and passwords when you rerun
the test or schedule in the same workbench session.
Note: This secure
environment has no effect on collecting test results, except for response
time breakdown data. Response time breakdown data cannot be collected
when running at a secure location.
