Generate and manage access keys
To run a test in OpenText Functional Testing Lab using a testing tool, you may need an execution key. The key is use to authenticate the connection to the lab, instead of using a username and password. You enter the execution key in the testing tool settings or in Appium scripts. Note that when using Single-Sign On (SSO), an execution key is mandatory to connect to the lab from a testing tool.
Non admin users can view and manage execution keys by clicking the Administration menu button . The Access Keys page provides details of your execution keys, including the date on which they expire. Admin users can generate both execution and connector access keys. For details, see Access key management.
To generate a new execution key:
-
In the Administration > Access Keys page, Click +. Enter a name and (optionally a) description for the access key.
- If required, select an expiration date and time within the allowed duration. Note that the maximum number of days that execution keys are valid is set by the administrator.
-
Click Generate. The Client ID and secret for executing tests in the lab are displayed.
Important: After you close this window, you cannot retrieve the access key, so you must either copy or save the credentials.
To use an execution key with a testing tool:
To use the execution key with OpenText testing tools, click Copy key to place the generated credentials on the clipboard. Click Download to save it to a text file for later reference.
