Configure user login settings

By default, you need to manually log on to a computer before running Vusers on that computer. However, you can configure a load generator machine to run Vusers, without the need to manually log on to the machine.

To configure user login settings:

  1. In the Windows Start menu, select OpenText Professional Performance Engineering AgentRuntime Settings Configuration.

    The agent Runtime Settings dialog box opens.

  2. Select one of the following options:

    • Allow virtual users to run on this machine without user login. This provides automatic login to the network from the load generator machine, so the Vusers can run without any manual intervention. Enter the network domain where the user machine resides, a user name, and password.

      Note: When created, the agent service starts with the LocalSystem account (not as a specified user). The specified credentials are used by the agent service to start the mdrv.exe process when you run the script.

      You must reboot and log on to the system at least once after the OpenText Professional Performance Engineering installation before the automatic login can work.

    • Manual log in to this machine. The user must manually log on to the network from the load generator machine for each session of running Vusers.

  3. Click OK.
