Security Considerations
This document describes the actions that you can take to ensure that your installation is secure, customize your security settings, and set up user access controls.
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 HCL OneTest™ Performance. 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
Datasets can be encrypted and access controlled by password that is difficult, but
not impossible, to break.
Privacy policy considerations
This software offering does not use cookies or other technologies to collect personally identifiable information. For additional information on cookies, see the Notices topic.
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.
