You can take actions to ensure that you customize your
security settings and set up user access controls. You can also learn
about any security limitations that you might encounter with this
application.
Enabling secure communication between
multiple applications
The workbench computer that controls
the execution of the test communicates with the remote agent computers.
The agents apply load for
IBM® Rational® Test Workbench Mobile Test Edition.
The communication can be secure or nonsecure. By default, the tool
use nonsecure communication. Also, if a workbench computer uses a
self-signed certificate, it cannot be changed. Agent computers are
trusting.
Ports, protocols, and services
The
Majordomo service running on remote agents must run with administrator
or super user credentials, which means that the test execution it
supports has full privileges on the test computer where it resides.
Product communication uses HTTP and HTTPS. Ports are configurable.
Customizing your security settings
Datapools
can be encrypted and access controlled by password that is difficult,
but not impossible, to break.
Security limitations
Passwords
are stored using Eclipse mechanisms that are difficult but not impossible
to break.
Workbench and agent communication is encrypted but
not absolutely safe from impersonation attack.
