I may be posting this in the completly wrong area if someone can point me where to look i would greatly appreciate it.
I am writing an automated script to end to end test our companies api and need to validate information stored on a unix server that has the following requirements. (this is what i do know and understand)
I use a putty session from a windows machine to connect to these unix servers due to security restrictions the servers i need to access can only be gotten from specific putty sessions.
A) soapui would need to connect to an existing putty session that i have open already
B) the server is secured with a user name and password , i can store this information in a variable and push it through when needed - that much i think i understand
C) the server then takes set commands and returns a very structured output that i would need to capture or read into a buffer - possibly as a string.
what i dont know !
can soap ui connect to said unix server or servers send the stored username and password and then the required commands.
i would imagine this would require some kind of groovy script , is there a built in test step for this kind of function
any direction would be extreamly helpfull
as i got voluntold to learn soap and have only been at it about a 2 months now im still not sure of the nomenclature so if i said something incorrectly i do apologize.
