To run a schedule on the cloud, the workbench must connect to Rational® Performance Tester Cloud
Manager. If the workbench is installed behind a firewall, use a proxy computer that is connected to
the workbench computer as well as has access to the Internet.
Before you begin
Ensure that the proxy computer is connected to the workbench computer and has access to the
Internet.
Procedure
- In Rational Performance Tester, click .
- From Active Provider, select Manual and edit the
HTTPS entry.
- Specify the host name and port number of the proxy computer.
- If the proxy computer requires authentication, select the Requires
Authentication check box and specify the login credentials.
- If the proxy computer requires NTLM or NTLMv2 authentication, specify the domain name of the
user and the host name of the workbench computer in the eclipse.ini file before
starting the product.
-Dhttps.proxyDomain=DomainName
-Dhttps.proxyWorkstation=RPTHostName
- During the cloud run a browser inside the workbench is used to display reports. This browser
session requires authentication to reach the reports, so, the proxy computer must be able to pass
through this authentication. The browser in workbench picks up its proxy settings from the system's
proxy setting, which are also the settings that Internet Explorer uses. If Internet Explorer is not
already configured to use your proxy computer, in Internet Explorer click and specify the host name and port number of the proxy computer.
