Resolution
Steps to Follow:
1. Create a Rest / Web Service Step in Workstation ,
URL: https://mywebsite.com/booking/v1/flights/info?sendercountrycd=US&sendercity=ATLANTA&senderpostalcd=38017
Validate that you are able to hit the live Endpoint.
2. Start the VSE Recorder
Provided basic information about what is to be recorded : VSM/VSI names
select the appropriate protocol(s) involved. HTTP
Click Next
Provided the listen host, host name and port of the target server
Listen : 8001
Target Host : mywebsite.com
Target Post : 8443
Enabled " Use SSL to Server" - If checked, sends HTTPS (secured layer) request to the Server.
Click next and we are ready to Record.
3. Modify the Rest /WS Step to point to the Recorder (localhost or VSERecorderHost) instead of the Live endpoint.
For One-way SSL, the VSE recorder is acting as the Client that sends HTTPS request to the Sever
The flow is
Testcase sends ( HTTP call to the)-> Recorder -> (HTTPS) -> sever
URL now becomes:
http://<VSERecorderHost>:9876/booking/v1/flights/info?sendercountrycd=US&sendercity=ATLANTA&senderpostalcd=38017
Execute the call, and VSE recorder now captures the transaction.
4. During Playback:
VS is acting as Server. So in the Listen Step, we enabled " SSL to Client"
Saved, and then Deployed the VSM
You should be able to send a HTTPS request this VS using your Testcase or any other client.
To Deploy the Service to a remote VSE Server, you would change the client Hostname to where the VS Host is.
URL now becomes:
https://<VSHostName>:9876/booking/v1/flights/info?sendercountrycd=US&sendercity=ATLANTA&senderpostalcd=38017
Execute the call, and VSE recorder now captures the transaction.
