Example: https://10.9.1.63:8443

Specifies the username for authentication on the secondary DTP server specified with the license.network.url option.

This options requires the license.network.use.specified.server and license.network.auth.enabled options to be set to true.

Example: license.network.user=JohnDoe

Specifies the password for authentication on the secondary DTP server specified with the license.network.url option.

This option requires the license.network.use.specified.server and license.network.auth.enabled options to be set to true and the the license.network.user to be configured.

We strongly recommend encoding your password to ensure successful authentication and a secure connection. You can encode your password by running a command line instance of SOAtest with the -encodepass flag. The command line tool will generate an encoded string that you can use in the configuration file. 

See CLI Options for additional information.

This option enables SOAtest to connect to either DTP and License Server, or two instances of DTP simultaneously.

Set to false if you want to retrieve a license from the DTP server specified with Parasoft DTP Settings. 

If set to true, SOAtest will retrieve a license from the server specified with the license.network.url option.

We highly recommend that you use an encoded password to ensure successful authentication and increase the level of security.
