Getting started

Enabling VUH for the NeoLoad Controller

In order to start tests using VUH:

  • The NeoLoad Controller needs to be configured to connect to NeoLoad Web.
    Please refer to the Auto-configure NeoLoad Web preferences in the NeoLoad Controller page for more details.

  • In the License panel of the NeoLoad Controller, (Edit > Preferences > General settings command), you need to select a license file or a server to activate your license and your VUH bucket.

Enabling VUH for NeoLoad Web on-premise

The VUH licensing requires an Internet access to the NeoLoad licensing server.

2 environment variables need to be configured to that end: a token and a proxy.

To enable VUH for NeoLoad Web on-premise, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure your firewall allows outbound connections to https://auth.saas.neotys.com.

  2. Get an authentication token from the NeoLoad customer area > My Neotys > My Profile, in the Access Tokens section.

  3. Set the authentication token and your proxy at deployment level depending on the configuration of your environment. Refer to the procedure below that applies to your type of deployment.

  • For a Kubernetes deployment with a Helm Chart

  1. Set the key “neoload.configuration.backend.licensingPlatformToken” with the authentication token.

  2. If a proxy is required to reach the Internet, set the key “neoload.configuration.proxy.https” with the following format:
    https://username:password@host:port
    Get more details with the Helm Chart Documentation.

  • For other deployments
    Set the environment variable “LICENSING_PLATFORM_TOKEN” with the authentication token.
    If a proxy is required to reach the Internet, set the environment variable “NEOLOAD_WEB_HTTPS_PROXY” with the following format:
    https://username:password@host:port

Note: As long as your token is set up for your deployment, the VUH licensing is enabled, whatever the provisioning. In this case, "0 available" will be displayed if no VUH bucket is provisioned.

VUH for NeoLoad Web SaaS

If your NeoLoad Web is deployed as a SaaS, no configuration is needed to use VUH.

Note: As soon as you provision VUH, the VUH licensing is enabled.
