Introduction
Parasoft DTP enables teams to configure or update team-wide settings, such as license and report settings, and propagate them across the team’s Parasoft installations.
Connecting to DTP in the GUI
Choose Parasoft > Preferences to open the Preferences dialog and select DTP.
You can configure the following settings:
Server Settings
Enable the Enable option to activate the server settings.
| Base URL | Specify the URL for the DTP server. Include the protocol and host name or IP address and, if appropriate, the port number and context path. |
|---|---|
| User name | Specify your DTP username. Contact your DTP administrator if you do not have access. Enable the Default option to use your machine name login. |
| Password | Specify your DTP password. Contact your DTP administrator if you do not have access. |
Click Test Connection to verify your configuration.
Project Settings
- Click Configure to open the Project menu and select your current project. The menu will be populated with the projects you have access to if your DTP connection is configured correctly. Contact your DTP administrator if your project is not available.
Click Next and specify the settings you want to automatically configure based on the preferences stored in DTP . Settings you enable in this panel will automatically be updated when the settings are updated in DTP. See the DTP documentation on https://docs.parasoft.com for configuring project settings.
- Click Finish to save the project settings.
License Settings
The status of your license displays in this section. No additional configuration will be necessary if DTP is configured to automatically provide licenses, but you can click Configure to manually set the license. See Licensing for additional information.
Continuous Testing Platform Settings
The status of your connection to Continuous Testing Platform (CTP) displays in this section. No additional configuration will be necessary if DTP is configured to automatically provide CTP connection settings, but you can click Configure to manually configure your connection to CTP.
Report Settings
Enable the Enable reporting results to DTP option to automatically send reports to DTP when publishing reports. A valid license with one of the following options is required: Command Line (for SOAtest) or Service Enabled (for Virtualize).
Configuring OpenID Connect in the GUI
DTP ships with support for OpenID Connect user authentication (see the DTP documentation on https://docs.parasoft.com). If OpenID Connect is enabled for your DTP server, you can configure the application to authenticate users via OpenID Connect. See Additional Preference Settings for more information about configuring OpenID Connect.
Connecting to DTP Via a Proxy
If a proxy server is required to connect to the DTP server, configure the proxy settings by choosing Window > Preferences to open the Preferences dialog, selecting General > Network Connections, and configuring the appropriate proxy settings to connect to the DTP server.
