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 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.
- 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.
- 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.

      You installed HCL OneTest™ Server and you want to know about how the software manages user access.
    - LDAP user administration
      You installed HCL OneTest™ Server and you are using a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol and Active Directory HTTP server to manage users and authentication. You want to know the best practices to use that LDAP/AD server to manage user access to HCL OneTest Server.

      You might want to change your password or other settings for your account.
  - Certificate authority: Importing and extending lists
    When you want browsers and other applications to access HCL OneTest™ Server, you must enable browsers to trust the certificate authority (CA) of HCL OneTest Server. For some applications that integrate with HCL OneTest Server, you must also extend the CA lists that are trusted by the applications.
  - 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.
  - 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.
