Connecting to DTP Server is required for licensing, as well as extending other team-working capabilities, such as:
- Reporting analysis to a centralized database (see Sending Results and Publishing Source Code to DTP)
- Sharing test configurations
- Sharing static analysis rules
The connection must be configured in the .properties configuration file in the INSTALL_DIR (or another location; see Configuration Overview for details).
The following properties must be set to configure the connection to DTP Server:
dtp.server=[SERVER]dtp.port=[PORT]dtp.user=[USER]dtp.password=[PASSWORD]
Use only alphanumeric characters and hyphens for passwords. Special characters are allowed only in encoded passwords (see Creating an Encoded Password).
Creating an Encoded Password
Jtest can encrypt your password, which adds a layer of security to your interactions with DTP Server. Run the following command to print an encoded password:
-encodepass [MYPASSWORD]
Copy the encoded password that is returned and paste it into thejtest.propertiesfile:
dtp.password=[ENCODED PASSWORD]
