Installing the Parasoft Root Certificate Authority
When installing Parasoft SOAtest from the p2 update site, you will need to take some extra steps to ensure that your browser can utilize the Parasoft certificate for components like browser playback. The process differs depending on your OS and/or browser.
Windows
If you are on Windows, you should run soatest_install.bat installed into the eclipse directory of the Eclipse installation into which you installed the update site as an administrator. The script executes tasks that are normally completed by the Parasoft installers but are not supported by the p2 update site.
Running the script as an administrator allows it to install the Parasoft certificate for the local machine. If you are not able to run this script as an administrator, you can manually install the certificate for the current user. To do so:
- Navigate to
<ECLIPSE_DIRECTORY>\plugins\com.parasoft.ptest.libs.web_<VER>\root\liband double-click the parasoft.cer certificate file. - Click Install Certificate. The Certificate Import Wizard opens.
- Choose Current User and click Next.
- Choose Place all certificates in the following store, then click Browse and choose Trusted Root Certification Authorities.
- Click Next and review the settings then click Finish.
Once the certificate has been placed in the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" certificate store, browser playback and related components will work for the user. Repeat the process for other users, if necessary.
MacOS: Chrome
If you are on MacOS and using Chrome as your browser, do the following:
- Open the Chrome settings page (chrome://settings) and expand the Advanced section.
- Click Manage certificates in the Privacy and security section. The Keychain Access application will open.
- Choose login under Keychains and choose Certificates under Category.
- Choose File > Import items and navigate to parasoft.cer in the Eclipse directory.
- Right-click the Parasoft Root Certificate Authority when it appears and choose Get Info.
- Expand the Trust section and choose Always Trust from the When using this certificate drop-down menu.
- Enter your credentials when prompted to save the configuration.
Linux: Chromium-based Browsers
If you are on Linux and using a Chromium-based browser, run the following command:
certutil -d sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb -A -t "C,," -n <certificate nickname> \ -i <path to parasoft.cer certificate>
See the Chromium documentation regarding Linux Cert Management for more information, including how to install certutil for your distribution, if necessary.
Firefox
If you are using Firefox on either MacOS or Linux, see Firefox's documentation regarding setting up certificate authorities.
A valid license is required. See Licensing for details on configuring your license.
Potential Issues with Eclipse Oomph Installer
If you experience issues with SOAtest and Virtualize after installing into a version of Eclipse that uses the Oomph installer, reinstall Eclipse and disable bundle pools.
