We do not recommend running the Agent Controller behind
a firewall. However, if you are required to run the Agent Controller
behind a firewall, run the SetConfig script on the agent computers
and the workbench computer before recording or running tests.
Procedure
- Enable the security setting on each agent computer that
generates load for your tests, as well as your workbench computer.
- On the workbench computer, click .
Under Integrated Agent Controller security, click On.
Click OK.
- On each agent computer, run the SetConfig script (SetConfig.bat
for Microsoft Windows platforms; SetConfig.sh for non-Windows
platforms). This script is located in the installation directory.
The default installation directory is C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\AgentController\bin.
See Changing Agent Controller security settings after
installation for details on running this script.
- Restart Rational® Performance Tester on
the workbench computer.
- Restart the agent controller on all of the agent computers.
- 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.
