Default: false

Determines whether SOAtest or Virtualize is connected to DTP. 

Default: false

Specifies the password for DTP user authentication.

We strongly recommend encrypting your password to ensure successful authentication and a secure connection. You can encrypt your password by running a command line instance of SOAtest with the -encodepass flag. The command line tool will generate an encrypted string using AES 256-bit encryption that you can use in the configuration file. 

See CLI Options for additional information.

If License Server is deployed to a location other than the root of the host server, the URL should include a context path (a relative path from the host name; for example: https://server.company.com:8443/contextPath). This may be the case if your organization uses a reverse proxy. Refer to the License Server documentation on https://docs.parasoft.com for additional information about reverse proxy server configuration and context path configuration.

Specifies the username for authentication on the Licenses Server specified with the license.network.url option.

This option requires the license.network.use.specified.server and license.network.auth.enabled options to be set to true.

Example: license.network.user=JohnDoe

Specifies the password for authentication on the License Server specified with the license.network.url option.

This option requires the license.network.use.specified.server and license.network.auth.enabled options to be set to true and the license.network.user to be configured.

We strongly recommend encrypting your password to ensure successful authentication and a secure connection. You can encrypt your password by running a command line instance of SOAtest with the -encodepass flag. The command line tool will generate an encrypted string using AES 256-bit encryption that you can use in the configuration file. 

See CLI Options for additional information.

This option enables SOAtest to connect to either DTP and License Server, or two instances of DTP simultaneously.

Set to false if you want to retrieve a license from the DTP server specified with Parasoft DTP Settings. 

Set to true if you want to retrieve a license from the server specified with the license.network.url option.
