After you install the software, you can perform administration tasks such as license configuration, user management, security, memory, and disk usage management, back up and restore user data. This guide is intended for administrators.
Server administration
You can administer HCL OneTest™ Server after you install the software.
Managing Docker hosts
You can find information about the tasks that you can perform on remote Docker hosts. After you set up a remote Docker host, you can register the Docker host with HCL OneTest™ Server. You must add the registered remote Docker host to your project before you can run tests on the remote Docker host location.
Dockers overview
You can find information about the remote Docker hosts that you must install on remote computers and register them with HCL OneTest™ Server. After the remote Dockers are registered you can add them to your projects and then select them as the locations to run tests.

Administrator Guide
This guide describes how to install HCL OneTest™ Server software. After you install the software, you can perform administration tasks such as license configuration, user management, security, memory, and disk usage management, back up and restore user data. This guide is intended for administrators.
- Installation of the server software
  To get started with HCL OneTest™ Server, you must first install the server software.
- Server extensions
  You can run Postman, JMeter, or JUnit tests in HCL OneTest™ Server by enabling the server extensions, if they were disabled. The server extensions are enabled at the time of installation of the server software.
- Server software upgrade methods
  When you want to use the enhanced functionalities of HCL OneTest™ Server, you must upgrade to the latest version of the server software.
- Uninstallation of the server software
  When you no longer require HCL OneTest™ Server, you can uninstall the server software. You can uninstall the server software depending on the platform on which you installed the server software.
- Server administration
  You can administer HCL OneTest™ Server after you install the software.
  - User administration
    After you install HCL OneTest™ Server, you must consider how the software manages users and authentication.
  - Changing the password seed
    As an administrator, you can change the password seed that is used when you install the server software to provide enhanced security to HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Copying third-party application Jars to Kubernetes
    You can run API Suites in a project on HCL OneTest™ Server. If the API Suite uses a transport and the transport requires third-party application Jar files for a successful run, you must ensure that the third-party application Jar files are available at the test run time. To achieve this, you must copy the third-party application Jar files to the computer where HCL OneTest Server is installed on Kubernetes.
  - Importing Certificate Authority into a browser
    You must import Certificate Authority (CA) into a browser to prevent certificate errors when accessing the HCL OneTest™ Server UI.
  - Team Space overview
    You can find information about the initial Team Space that is displayed when you log in to HCL OneTest™ Server. After you install HCL OneTest Server, you enter a Team Space. Team Space is a logical partition of HCL OneTest Server to share a single installation among multiple teams.
  - Managing Docker hosts
    You can find information about the tasks that you can perform on remote Docker hosts. After you set up a remote Docker host, you can register the Docker host with HCL OneTest™ Server. You must add the registered remote Docker host to your project before you can run tests on the remote Docker host location.
    - Dockers overview
      You can find information about the remote Docker hosts that you must install on remote computers and register them with HCL OneTest™ Server. After the remote Dockers are registered you can add them to your projects and then select them as the locations to run tests.
    - Task flow for working with remote Docker hosts
      You can find information about the tasks that you must perform when you work with setting up remote Docker hosts and using the remote Docker as the location for test runs. Also, you can find information about the other tasks that you can perform on the remote Docker hosts.
    - Setting up a remote Docker host
      You must set up a computer to host the remote Docker host. You can set up the remote host with a non-secure mode of connection with HCL OneTest™ Server.
    - Setting up a secure remote Docker host
      You must set up a computer to host the remote Docker host. You can set up the remote host with a secure mode of connection with HCL OneTest™ Server by using certificates issued by the remote host computer that authenticate the connection.
    - Copying third-party application Jars to a remote Docker host
      You can run API Suites in a project on HCL OneTest™ Server on a remote Docker host. If the API Suites use a transport and the transport requires third-party Jar files for a successful run, you must ensure that the third-party application Jar files are available at the test run time. To achieve this, you must copy the third-party application Jar files to the computer where you have set up the remote Docker host.
    - Registering a remote Docker
      You must register the remote Docker host with HCL OneTest™ Server before you add the remote Docker host to your project, which contains the test assets that you want to run on the remote Docker host.
    - Viewing remote Docker hosts that are registered with HCL OneTest™ Server
      You must register the remote Docker host with HCL OneTest™ Server before you add the remote Docker host to your project, which contains the test assets that you want to run on the remote Docker host.
    - Editing configurations
      You can edit the host name or the port of the registered Docker host computer instead of registering it as a new remote host if any of the parameters are changed on the remote host computer. You can also change the mode of authentication of a registered remote Docker host.
    - Deleting a remote Docker
      You can delete a remote Docker host that you added to your project in HCL OneTest™ Server when you no longer need it to run tests.
    - Unregistering a remote Docker host from HCL OneTest™ Server
      You can unregister a remote Docker host that is registered with HCL OneTest™ Server when you no longer require it.
  - Backing up and restoring the user data
    You might want to restore an earlier environment state if you install a new version of HCL OneTest™ Server, move environments to different systems (both real and virtual), or set up a test environment ready for testing. To address any of these needs, you can back up and restore HCL OneTest Server user data installed either on Ubuntu or on Red Hat OpenShift platform.
- Accessibility features
  Accessibility features help users who have physical disabilities, such as visual and, hearing impairment, or limited mobility, to use the software products successfully.

Dockers overview

You can find information about the remote Docker hosts that you must install on remote computers and register them with HCL OneTest™ Server. After the remote Dockers are registered you can add them to your projects and then select them as the locations to run tests.

When you plan to run any of the tests on a remote Docker host from a project on HCL OneTest™ Server, you must have completed the following tasks:

Set up non-secure or secure remote Docker hosts. See Setting up a remote Docker host computer or Setting up a secure remote Docker host computer.
Registered the remote Docker host on HCL OneTest™ Server. See Registering a remote Docker host with HCL OneTest Server.
Added a remote Docker host to your HCL OneTest™ Server project. See Adding a remote Docker host to the project for running tests.

You can run all the tests that are supported on HCL OneTest™ Server on remote Docker hosts.

Important: You can run virtual services only in the Default Cluster location of HCL OneTest™ Server. You cannot run virtual services on a remote Docker host.

If you plan to run API Suites that use a transport and the transport requires third-party application Jar files for a successful run on a remote Docker host, then you must perform the following task:

You must copy the third-party application Jar files to the third-party application folder on the computer where the remote Docker host is installed. See Copying third-party application Jars to a remote Docker host.

You can review the tasks that you can perform to manage Dockers. See Task flow for working with remote Docker hosts.
