Creating Test Clients
 
Creating a Test Client that Uses Basic Authentication
Creating a Test Client that Uses SSL Authentication
Creating a Test Client that Uses One-way SSL Authentication
When you create a test client, you must select the Broker Server and Broker on which the test client will be located. You also must determine the client group to which the test client will belong. The client group determines the following for a test client:
*The document types the test client can publish and subscribe.
*The lifecycle of the test client.
*If the client group has a destroy on disconnect lifecycle, the test client is volatile. Broker will delete the test client when you log out of My webMethods or your session expires.
*If the client group has an explicit destroy lifecycle, the test client is guaranteed. Broker maintains the test client and its client-state when your My webMethods session ends. Broker disconnects the test client when your session ends. You will need to reconnect the test client each time you log into My webMethods.
For more information about client lifecycle, see Client Lifecycle.
*Whether the test client needs to provide the authorization information used by the test client's client group ACLs.
You can create a test client that uses either basic or SSL authentication. Proceed to one of the following sections to continue working with the new test client.
