Re-sign the Agent apps

The Agent apps are standard iOS applications that need to be installed on each device that you want to use with OpenText Functional Testing Lab.

More about the Agent apps

The Agent apps provide a communication channel between the device and OpenText Functional Testing Lab. The Agent apps must be re-signed with a Development certificate of an Apple Developer account, and a development provisioning profile belonging to the same account. The certificate and provisioning profile provide the identity of the developer, and the list of devices on which distribution of the app is allowed. Admin users view and manage the Agent apps in the Apps tab of the OpenText Functional Testing Lab console. For details, see Manage apps.

Re-sign the Agent apps

To simplify and support automation of the Agent app re-signing process, OpenText Functional Testing Lab administrators can set up automatic Agent signing.

Note: For cloud labs that support automatic signing with their own certificate (OpenText public and private devices, ADF public devices, and WeTest devices), there is no need to re-sign the Agent apps.
