By default, security is not enabled for your TestOptimal server. That is, anyone can knows the url to your TestOptimal server will be able connect to your server and modify your model. Therefore, it is highly recommended to have the security enabled.

The security is enabled in two steps: specifying user authentication and setting user authorization as described below.

• user authentication is to validate the user id and password against the predefined user domain.
  • TestOptimal supports Properties File, LDAP or write your own. The authentication is specified in Help / Config page. Be sure to add your self as an admin user by entering your user id to the Admin User field.
• user authorization is to give authenticated user the access to the system and models.
  • By default, any users who are authenticated can access all models in the system. But you can limit each model to a set of users only. This is done by specifying a list of user ids in model property. The user ids must be separated by semi-colon “;”. Leave this field empty to allow all users to access the model.
  • Admin user(s) automatically are authorized to all models.

You must restart TestOptimal server and re-open browser to make the changes effective.

TestOptimal server is a java application and can be customized through command arguments. To edit the command arguments, edit the file startTestOptimalServer.bat on Windows or startTestOptimalServer.sh on Mac/Linux.

• -port nnnn: to change TestOptimal listening port#. The default is 8888. TestOptimal uses two consecutive ports, by default 8888 and 8889 are used.
• -lic licenseKey: to reset the license key every time the server is started.
• -email emailAddress: to reset the email address every time the server is started.
• -logLevel level: to set the server log level which changes the amount of debugging messages written to the server log file.
  • SEVERE (highest value)
  • WARNING
  • INFO
  • CONFIG
  • FINE
  • FINER
  • FINEST (lowest value)
• -mscriptLogLevel level: to set the mscript log level, see valid log level described above.
• -domain domainName: to set the domain for the server, useful for SvrMgr that runs on a different domain than the Runtime servers.
• -logLimit nnn: to limit the server log file to a specific file size and rotate among 5 server log files. nnn is file size in kb.

Set of MScript functions are created to post and retrieve twitter messages. This allows you to automatically tweet messages into the twitter account from MScript.

For example you can post an update status message when model execution completes or when it encounter errors.

In order to use twitter functions, you must first configure twitter account in config.properties:

• twitter.consumerKey - consumer key for your registered twitter application
• twitter.consumerSecret - consumer secret key for your registered twitter application
• twitter.accessToken - access token for the twitter account to post updates to.
• twitter.accessSecret - access secret key for twitter account to post updates to.

• Register your application to obtain consumerKey and consumeSecret at http://twitter.com/oauth_clients/new.
• Acquire accessToken and tokenSecret by granting the registered application (above) to the twitter account which the status message will be posted to.

If your computer is connected to an internet proxy server to access internet, you must configure TestOptimal server to connect to the proxy server. Please refer to Internet Proxy Server Setup for more details.
