How to configure ADR from within ZebraTester in order to enable inline script functions
If you would like to utilize functions such as getTableColumn, setTableRow, etc. in order to get data from or make changes to your ADR tables, you must first enable your ZebraTester instance to communicate with the existing ADR server. You can do this by configuring the “Apica Table Server API Configuration” within your ZebraTester Personal Settings.
Plain TCP connections are allowed between ZT and ADR (see screenshot 1 below). However, Apica always recommends securing communication between ZT and ADR via TLS using mTLS authentication (see screenshot 2 below).
In order to set up ATS to communicate over HTTP, you should only enter details in the “HTTP Host” and “HTTP Port” boxes:
If you attempt to enter details into the “HTTPS Host” and “HTTPS Port” boxes but do not upload a corresponding .p12 certificate to secure the HTTP connection, the connection will not work! As such, if you would like to configure ZebraTester to communicate with ADR via HTTPS, you must upload a client certificate as well as filling in the HTTPS details:
