Find Out How

During the installation of SOASTA Conductor, the Identify Your Conductor and CloudTest Site screen is displayed so you can enter a SOASTA Conductor name and SOASTA CloudTest URL. At the bottom of this screen is an “Advanced” button. The typical SOASTA Conductor installation can be successfully completed without visiting the advanced settings. However, there are cases in which using advanced settings is necessary.

To visit the “Advanced” screen, click on the “Advanced” button at the bottom of the screen.

The following screen, Advanced Connection Properties, will appear. The Advanced Connection Properties screen supports the following settings:

1. SOCKS Proxy Configuration
2. Specify Web Service locations for SOASTA Coordinator URL and SOASTA Repository URL
3. SOASTA CloudTest Tenant

The first portion of the screen allows you to setup a SOCKS Proxy Configuration. Some environments require the use of a proxy to support the use of a firewall. Your IT department should be able to tell you if this setting is necessary. If you do need to set up a SOCKS Proxy Configuration, you will need to enter the proxy server name and port number in the appropriate boxes.

The second portion of the screen allows you to specify Web Service Locations. Most SOASTA CloudTest installations use the same server for all SOASTA Web services. It is possible, however, to have the SOASTA CloudTest UI, the SOASTA Coordinator (the server side of SOASTA Conductor), and the SOASTA CloudTest Repository on different servers. Use these two settings to specify the URLs for these services in this case.

The last portion of the screen allows you to specify a SOASTA CloudTest Tenant for login. Every SOASTA CloudTest login consists of a user id and password. In addition, every login must identify a “tenant”. In hosted SOASTA CloudTest environments, different organizations can use the same SOASTA CloudTest but have their own data kept private. Normally, a tenant can be inferred from a user id and password. If, for some reason, two tenants share the same user id and password, it may be necessary for the tenant to be specified.
