Configure the Remote Execution Service

If you execute your tests via Remote Service, you need to configure the behavior of the Remote Execution Service on the machine that will execute your tests.

To do so, modify the ToscaCIRemoteExecutionService.exe.config file, located at %COMMANDER_HOME%\ToscaCI.

You can modify the following settings:

Setting name	Description	Optional
endpoint address	Specify the endpoint of the Remote Execution Service as the baseAddress in the system.ServiceModel section. The default setting value is localhost. You can also change the port in the endpoint address, if needed. By default, the Tosca Continuous Integration Client (Tosca CI Client) and the Remote Execution Service communicate via port 8732.
WorkspacePath	Path to the workspace that will execute the tests. Example: C:/Tosca Projects/Tosca Workspaces/MyWorkspace.tws
LoginName	Login name for the workspace. If you use LDAP authentication for your repository, you can use the domain and the Windows user name as LoginName.
LoginPassword	Password to the workspace, if you have set a password for the workspace. If you use LDAP authentication for your repository, you do not need to enter a password.
MaxWaitForCheckout	The maximum time in milliseconds the Tosca CI Client waits to checkout the ExecutionLists folder. If the Tosca CI Client cannot checkout the folder within the specified time, it aborts the execution and reports it as failed. The default value is 300000 milliseconds.	X
AuthenticationUsername	Define which Tosca CI Clients the Remote Execution Service is allowed to run. If you enter a value for AuthenticationUsername, the Remote Execution Service only runs Tosca Continuous Integration Clients with the same value in the ToscaCIClient.exe.config file.	X
AuthenticationPassword	If you have defined an AuthenticationUsername, you must also enter a value for AuthenticationPassword.	X

Example 1: Specify the endpoint of the Remote Execution Service

In the example below, you have defined the endpoint of your Remote Execution Service in the system.serviceModel section:

<system.serviceModel>  
    <services>
        <service name="TOSCAContinuousIntegration.TOSCACIRemoteExecutionService.Service.RemoteExecutionService" behaviorConfiguration="SimpleServiceBehavior">
            <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding" contract="TOSCAContinuousIntegration.TOSCACIRemoteExecutionService.Service.IRemoteExecutionService">
            </endpoint>
            <host>
                <baseAddresses>
                    <add baseAddress="http://100.100.100.100:8732/TOSCARemoteExecutionService/" />
                </baseAddresses>
            </host>
        </service>
    </services>  
    [...]
</system.serviceModel>
                                                    

Example 2: Set up client authentication

In the example below, you have defined an authentication username and password for Tosca Continuous Integration Clients:

<userSettings>
    [...]
    <TOSCAContinuousIntegration.TOSCACIRemoteExecutionService.Properties.Settings>
        <setting name="AuthenticationUsername" serializeAs="String">
            <value>SampleAuthenticationUsername</value>
        </setting>
        <setting name="AuthenticationPassword" serializeAs="String">
            <value>SamplePassword12345</value>
        </setting>
        [...]
</userSettings>
