If Digital Lab is configured to work in secured mode, you must set up OpenText Functional Testing for Developers to work in secured mode as well.

The following procedure must be done every time you install or upgrade OpenText Functional Testing for Developers.

To obtain the certificate from the Digital Lab server

  1. On the OpenText Functional Testing for Developers machine, open a browser and browse to the Digital Lab server using the following syntax:

    https://<host_name_or_IP_address>:port

    For example: https://16.54.185.180:8443

    The browser displays a message about security issues with the website's security certificate.

    Click Continue to this website.

  2. On the message window, select Certificate error > View certificates > Install Certificate.

  3. Install the certificate using the wizard.

    1. Select Place all certificates in the following store, and then click Browse.

    2. Select Trusted Root Certification Authorities, and complete the wizard.

      If a security warning appears, click Yes to confirm the installation.

  4. Open the Certificate View, and then click the Details tab. For each certificate level, select the certificate and save it locally.
  5. In the browser, refresh the Digital Lab server site and verify that there are no SSL certificate-related errors. In most cases, SSL-related errors are generated by the operating system.

Copy the .pem file or files that you obtained earlier to the certificates folder under the OpenText Functional Testing for Developers installation folder.
