To configure endpoint options, use the table.

The table includes the following columns:

Option Description
Endpoint The endpoint URL.
Username The user name for basic authorization at the endpoint.
Password The password for basic authorization at the endpoint.
Domain The domain for basic authorization at the endpoint.
WSS-Type The type of WS-Security the endpoint uses.
Possible values: None, PasswordText, PasswordDigest.
WSS-TimeToLive How long the WS-Security authorization stays valid.
Outgoing WSS The outgoing WS-Security configuration to be used for the endpoint.
Incoming WSS The incoming WS-Security configuration to be used for the endpoint.
Mode The way ReadReadyAPIyAPI handles the credentials.
Possible values: COMPLEMENT, COPY, OVERRIDE.

  • COMPLEMENT – Use the credentials specified in the table when they have not been set in the request.

  • COPY – Use the provided credentials for requests to the endpoint.

  • OVERRIDE – Use basic authorization with specified credentials for requests to the endpoint.

Add Endpoints

Assign Endpoints to Requests

To assign an endpoint to several requests, click Assign, and then select one of the following options:

Option Description
All Interface Requests Assigns the selected endpoint to all requests in the interface.
All Test Requests Assigns the selected endpoint to all SOAP Request test steps in the project.
All Interface Requests and Test Requests Assigns the selected endpoint to all requests in the interface and SOAP Request test steps in the project.
All Requests with no endpoint Assigns the selected endpoint to all requests without an endpoint.

Assign Endpoints in Test Runner

You can assign any endpoint to any request before starting the test run using the built-in functional, security or performance test runner. This can be done in the following ways:

  • Specify a value after the -e argument when constructing the command-line test launch string.

  • In the GUI of the test runner, specify the endpoint on the Overrides tab, in the Endpoint field.

Any values you specify in the test runner override those you have specified in the project settings.
