QA-T224

Proxy Testing : 1 - Auth'd credentials - with and without proxy (Windows)

OBJECTIVE
Confirm proxy credentials are saved across player restarts.

Confirm proxy credentials are used when sub-web pages are loaded within player.

CCT-
Not asked to log back in- even with proxy
PRECONDITION
  • New player version
  • Start proxy server (from confluence if unable to load)
  • Part of test involves accessing embedded website.  Example of embedded website to use:  https://www.youtube.com
  • You will need to setup and use local proxy for this test case.  To do so, see the info contained in the Proxy sections of the Confluence page:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/14_CaDxa5kIT2Ir5Wb1GkX3J0eBZsdzQ34v2YaRa82gY/edit#heading=h.i7rla188k2ck

Hardware needed to set up for Proxy:
  • In the Lab here at HQ, for Proxy, we have a hub on the metal wall at QA station and the Squid box that is on the Engineering desk. 
    • Q for Edge team:  - What hardware specifically would Budapest QA need in their Hardware Lab in order to set up to use Proxy?
  • A from Misch on Edge team:   - 
    • — The hub is a small router. Anything like this will do. It is configured to block all traffic except that to the proxy box.
    • — The squid box can be any small computer (i.e. raspberry pi) that supports Squid and MitmProxy.
               — It should be dedicated hardware to prevent them from going missing or being borrowed for any reason.
    • — QA team would want some kind of UI for accessing the logs so Ubuntu or similar would be preferred.
      and from Matt A: -
       — Squid and proxy setup is a great first x86 bitbake project

On Windows: 
Right-click on Windows icon and search for Proxy.  Click toggle to enable Proxy and enter the Ip address, port, user id and password.
