Starting HCL OneTest™ API from the command line

You must start HCL OneTest™ API from the command line by using the hostname and port of the computer on which you installed HCL® AppScan Dynamic Analysis Client when you want HCL® AppScan Dynamic Analysis Client to capture and scan the HTTP traffic from and to HCL OneTest™ API. After you start HCL OneTest™ API and run tests, the HTP traffic is scanned by HCL® AppScan Dynamic Analysis Client for security vulnerabilities.

Before you begin

You must have competed the following tasks:
  • Read and complied with the prerequisites described in Prerequisites.
  • Installed HCL® AppScan server or HCL® AppScan Dynamic Analysis Client.
  • Noted the hostname and port used by HCL® AppScan server or HCL® AppScan Dynamic Analysis Client for HCL OneTest™ API.

Procedure

  1. Open the command line.
  2. Go to the HCL OneTest™ API installation directory.
  3. Run the following command with the details of the hostname and port of the proxy host of HCL® AppScan Dynamic Analysis Client:

    IntegrationTester -appScanProxyHost <host_name> -appScanProxyPort <port>

    For example, if the hostname of the computer where you installed the HCL® AppScan Dynamic Analysis Client is 127.2.1.0 and the port assigned to the HCL OneTest™ API application is 64482, the command can be as follows:

    IntegrationTester -appScanProxyHost 127.2.1.0 -appScanProxyPort 64482

Results

You have started HCL OneTest™ API as an application that HCL® AppScan server or HCL® AppScan Dynamic Analysis Client listens to capture or record HTTP traffic from and to HCL OneTest™ API.

What to do next

You can run tests in HCL OneTest™ API that send or receive HTTP traffic. You can then use the method that you set in HCL® AppScan to scan the HTTP traffic and view the scan reports.
