Connect to a shared space

Before you can access the OpenText Functional Testing Lab server with shared space (multi-tenant) capabilities, you must enable the shared space feature.

This section is not relevant for OpenText Core SDP and OpenText Core Functional Testing Lab.

Select a shared space from the console

To access the lab, log into OpenText Functional Testing Lab.

To log in:

Navigate to: http/s://<OpenText Functional Testing Lab server IP address>:<server port>.
Enter your credentials to log in.

If you enter a wrong password three consecutive times, your account is locked. The default lockout time is 15 minutes. An operator can reset your password.

The log-in screen options differ according to your user role:

User role	Details
Operator	When an operator logs in, they have access to the Operator Console. This console is used to define and manage shared spaces, and add other operators, and administrators. The Operator console is not visible to users with an admin or user role. The default operator user, admin@default.com, is also automatically assigned the role of administrator for the DEFAULT shared space, and can access this shared space. However, a user with an operator role cannot access other shared spaced unless assigned as an administrator of those shared spaces. For each shared space that you create, a default workspace is created. For details, see Lab and workspace management.
Admin, workspace admin or user role	After you successfully log into a shared space, the workspaces to which you have permission to connect are displayed. To start working, select a workspace from the drop-down list. If you are assigned to only one shared space, you are logged in directly to that shared space when the OpenText Functional Testing Lab console opens. If you are assigned to multiple shared spaces, to switch between the shared spaces you must log out and then log in again, selecting the other shared space. To log out, hover on the name of the logged-in user in the masthead. For details about user roles, see Shared spaces.
