Using ASP or PERL and "TMSServer.TMSServer"
#619733 - 03/26/10 05:07 AM

Hello,

I'm trying to get information out of Test Manager using the TMSServer object.

It works fine in Excel using VBA but doesn't work in ASP (or in Perl).

Here's my Excel code:
Code:

  
Set testServer = CreateObject("TMSServer.TMSServer")

testServer.Login 1, "\\server\path\file.rsp", "me", "mypassword", 0

Set testPlanCol = testServer.TestPlans

Here's the same thing in ASP, but it seems to be hanging (no response from the object) when doing the login. I've played about with permissions in IIS (anonymous and NT security) but I'm not getting anywhere.

Has anyone managed to do this? I'd appreciate peoples help and am happy to share the code I come up with.

I'm using Test Manager 7.0.1.

Many thanks,
Steve

Just as an update, IBM said that they haven't tested it with ASP, so if it doesn't work then it's not supported.

Actually, minutes after posting that I worked it out.

It's because of file security and IIS.

Even though you say use windows integrated authentication and disable annonymous access so that it forces IIS to use the users credentials, those credentials are only appropriate to the local disk.
When IIS goes out to the network is uses a "Network token" and so in my case that network token didn't have access to the file.

I changed the default IIS user to be a user with access to that file, and it all works brilliantly now.
