Configuration of WinAuthTest

The parameters associated with this test are as follows:

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

  • In the HOST text box, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

  • The port number to which the selected server is listening has to be specified in the PORT textbox. 

  • This test emulates a user logging into a Microsoft Windows domain or a local host. Therefore, specify the login name of the user, in the USERNAME text box. 

  • In the PASSWORD text box, enter the password that corresponds to the specified USERNAME

  • In the DOMAIN text box, specify the name of the domain to which the test will try to login. If the test is to login to a local host, specify 'none' here. 

  • If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

  • Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
