The Rational® Test Control Panel allows you to use virtual services published with Rational Integration Tester to create, share, and deploy virtualized test environments in IBM® Rational Test Virtualization Server.
    - Configuring Rational® Test Control Panel
      You might need to configure the Rational® Test Control Panel after the application is installed.
      - Using your own truststore for server SSL connections
        The server by default provides a truststore but you might want to use your own truststore for server SSL connections.
      - Configuring the server HTTP Endpoint
        The server supports both HTTP and HTTPS connections but by default is HTTPS only. It is possible to enable, disable, and change the ports that are used by both HTTP and HTTPS server connections.
      - Registering Rational® Integration Tester Agent with Rational® Test Control Panel
        IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel runs stubs on agents. Agents can also be used to run scheduled tests. During the installation of the Rational Integration Tester Agent, the agent is configured to register with Rational Test Control Panel instances so that they are available for running stubs or running scheduled tests.
      - Adding Microsoft™ SQL Server and MySQL drivers
        Microsoft™ SQL Server and MySQL drivers are not supplied with Rational® Test Control Panel. If you want to use SQL Server or MySQL with Rational Test Control Panel, you must copy the SQL Server or MySQL drivers to the Rational Test Control Panel installation directory.
      - Modifying Rational® Test Control Panel security model settings after installation
        This section explains how to modify IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel security model settings after installation.
        Configuring the security settings after installation by updating the security.config file
        When you configure Rational® Test Control Panel in GUI mode, the security settings are saved to the security.config file in the security folder in the Rational Test Control Panel workspace. To add or modify the security settings after installing the server in GUI mode or in console mode, use these instructions.
    - Getting started
      Start using the IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel.
    - Task flow: Working with the IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel Environments dashboard
      You can use the Rational® Test Control Panel Environments dashboard to perform various tasks such as starting, stopping stubs and scenarios, and modifying stub configurations after you have published stubs to Rational Test Control Panel. You can also lock the environment that contain the published stubs.
    - Task flow: Working with the IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel Infrastructure dashboard
      You can use the Rational® Test Control Panel Infrastructure dashboard to perform administrative tasks such as viewing agents and proxies registered with Rational Test Control Panel.
    - Task flow: Working with the IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel Network dashboard
      You can use the Rational® Test Control Panel Network dashboard to perform administrative tasks such as viewing recording or routing rules configured for agents and proxies.
    - Managing users
      IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel has multiple choices associated with its security model. Depending on the security option selected during installation of the Rational Test Control Panel, different options are available based on the user accounts.
    - Managing domains
      How to create and manage domains in IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel.
    - Working with Rational® Test Control Panel dashboards
      You can filter, search, sort, and choose the number of items to be displayed in IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel dashboards.
    - Viewing the state of stubs that are published to Rational® Test Control Panel
      When you as an administrator of Rational® Test Control Panel want to view the state of stubs that are published to Rational Test Control Panel, you can use the script provided with the product installation package. You can use this information to manage projects in Rational Test Control Panel.
    - Deleting environments
      This topic explains how to delete environments.
    - Agent and Proxy administration
      Use IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel to view and control any of the Rational Integration Tester agents or proxies.
    - Viewing Rational® Test Control Panel logs
      If you are an IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel administrator, you can view the audit, activity, and diagnostic logs of Rational Test Control Panel.
    - Viewing reports in Rational® Test Automation Server
      All the project stakeholders can view test reports for multiple testing products from the Results page on IBM® Rational® Test Automation Server. You can access the Results page from a web browser. Therefore, there is no need to install the desktop client.
    - Configuring stubs to connect to Rational® Test Control Panel and the HTTP proxy
      A stub running on its own may not be sufficient in some cases, because it might have dependencies on services such as Rational® Test Control Panel or the HTTP proxy. If the stub is running on the public cloud and the services are running in the enterprise, you must configure the stub to connect to these services.

Modifying Rational® Test Control Panel security model settings after installation

This section explains how to modify IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel security model settings after installation.

About this task

Before installing Rational® Test Control Panel, it is a good idea to consider whether and how Rational® Test Control Panel users will be authenticated during login (for information about this, refer to Installation considerations for Rational Test Control Panel).

However, before and during installation of Rational® Test Control Panel, you may be unsure of security model requirements, or you may have insufficient information to enable you to configure (fully) your chosen security model option.

After installation, Rational® Test Control Panel provides administrators with the means to modify Rational® Test Control Panel security settings without having to reinstall the software.

To modify Rational® Test Control Panel security model settings after installation:

Procedure

Open Installation Manager and click Modify.
Select Rational® Test Control Panel package from the list to modify the package and click Next.
In the RTCP Security Configuration page, select the required authentication mode from the Authentication Type list and click Next.
Click Modify and then click Finish.
Restart Rational® Test Control Panel service to ensure that any changes you have made take effect.

Results

The selected type of authentication mode is applied for the users to log in to Rational® Test Control Panel.
